The Garden at Koningsteen
Walking through our beautiful garden will bring a sense of joy, calmness and reflection to your life. Surrounded by old trees, flowers it is a place of quiet contemplation. The garden also contains resting benches, fountains and little ponds. You will also discover a number of fruit trees in the garden.
The Castle
The original Koningsteen (King’s Stone) dates back to the 13th century. After the wars the castle remained unattended for a quite some time. It became a meeting place for lovers who carved their names in the bark of the trees. Some of them are still visible today.
The Courtyard
Our courtyard features a calming fountain at the center of a beautiful laid out six-pointed star or or hexagram; a geometric shape historically used in religious and cultural contexts throughout times. Even though it is most commonly recognized as the Star of David, six-pointed stars have also been found in cosmological diagrams, representing two triangles - one pointed up and the other down - locked in harmonious embrace, symbolizing man's position between earth and sky.
Outdoor Terrace
Our outdoor terrace provides a beautiful view of the garden. Enjoy an outdoor lunch, a conversation over a good cup of coffee (or tea) with friends or colleagues, or just take some time to soak up the sun or enjoy reading a good book.
The Greenhouse
Our restored greenhouse has been converted in a cozy outdoor patio. Surrounded by flowers, herbs and vines, the greenhouse is the perfect setting for a conversation, a luncheon or a break-out session during your training program or workshop.
The Fire Circle
Since the beginning of time people have gathered around the fire to make music, to connect, to dance and to create magic in the fire light. Discover the magic of our sacred fire circle during your next residential retreat and weekend workshop.
