Château Mégarnie hosts meetings, workshops and small seminars for up to 50 people, and can lodge up to 18 guests in the main house for the night. The estate stands in Engis, in the province of Liège, and its official site is written in Dutch. It is a good fit for a team that wants a working day away from the office, with the option of staying over.
Seminars and company events
The site offers two kinds of meeting space. The meeting rooms each take up to 16 people, which suits a board session, a steering committee or a small training group. The Circular innovation lab takes up to 50 people and is the room to choose for a larger workshop, a stakeholder day or a presentation followed by group work. Both are booked by the half day or for a full day, and the venue publishes a rate for each option, so ask for the current figures when you send a request.
The château presents itself as a place where meeting, staying and sustainability go together. Renovation, furnishing, energy, materials and local partnerships were all chosen with a circular approach in mind. For an organiser, this gives a natural theme for sessions on sustainability, innovation or change, and a setting that backs up the message.
Rooms and capacities
Meeting rooms: each one takes up to 16 people. Circular innovation lab: up to 50 people. The site does not give layouts such as theatre or banquet, nor floor areas, so confirm the seating plan you need before booking.
Accommodation
Lodging is offered in several units, each with a stated maximum number of guests. The apartment sleeps up to 4 and has its own kitchen and a balcony. The studio sleeps up to 4. Room 1 sleeps up to 3, Room 2 up to 2 and Room 3 up to 4. The whole manor house can be taken for up to 18 people, with a minimum stay of two nights. The venue asks groups to get in touch for school holidays and public holidays.
This mix lets you match the lodging to the size of the group. A team of six can take a few rooms, while a group of 18 can occupy the whole house and be the only guests on site.
Catering
The official site does not describe a catering offer, a kitchen service or approved caterers. Ask the venue how meals, coffee breaks and drinks are handled before you plan a full day, especially for the larger room.
History and setting
The estate is called a château and is set in green surroundings. The site stresses calm and space to slow down, which pairs well with retreat-style meetings and reflection days. It does not give a construction date or a history of the building.
Getting there
Mégarnie 2, 4480 Engis, Belgium. The site gives a phone number and an email address for enquiries but no transport information. Engis lies in the Meuse valley between Liège and Huy, so check the nearest station and the road access with the venue if part of your group travels by public transport.
