The Moulin Castral de Hollogne-sur-Geer, in Geer, Belgium, offers two reception rooms for business and private events, with a terrace overlooking the river Geer and the castle. The main room, the mill room, takes 60 to 100 guests. A smaller dining room takes about 30. Three renovated holiday cottages with two bedrooms each stand in the courtyard, so a group can also stay on site.
Seminars and company events
The venue accepts professional events as well as private ones. The mill room has high ceilings and the original roof frame, and its outdoor space faces the river Geer and the castle. The dining room is a bright, recently renovated room for small groups, and it can serve as the shared dining room when all three cottages are booked. It is reserved on request, after a check of the calendar.
The rooms are free of caterer: the organizer chooses who feeds the guests. This suits a company seminar that wants a specific caterer, or a team day with its own formula.
Weddings and receptions
The two rooms, three indoor areas and a terrace allow weddings and other private celebrations. The venue is a listed site restored close to its original building, which gives a reception a setting with a visible history. The mill room is the main option for a wedding, with 60 to 100 guests depending on the layout. The venue also offers decoration with flowers through a local florist, and local producers for food and drink.
Rooms and capacities
The mill room dates from 1646 and holds 60 to 100 people. The dining room holds about 30 and is also home to the Bistrot du moulin castral, which opens on Sundays from 11:00 to 18:00 with a menu built on regional produce. The site gives two figures for the mill room, 60 and 100. Organizers should ask which corresponds to a seated dinner and which to a standing reception.
Accommodation
Three cottages are in the courtyard, renovated with care. Each has a kitchen, a dining room, a large living room, a shower room and two bedrooms. They carry an A++ energy certificate. Together they offer six bedrooms.
Catering
Caterer choice is free. For the Sunday bistrot, reservations go through the caterer David Gillon, whose number is on the site. Local producers of the village are part of the services the venue offers.
History and setting
The mill is part of the listed historic site of the former lordship of Hollogne-sur-Geer. It is a working mill again, and the venue describes a rural setting by the water, with hens walking free in the courtyard. Guided historical visits of the mill are available among the extra services.
Getting there
The address is Rue du Centre 27, in Hollogne-sur-Geer, municipality of Geer. Contact is by email and by telephone through the site.
