Its barn seats 400 at dinner and takes receptions of up to 800, and the reception hall in the château seats up to 70 or holds 150 for a cocktail. About 15 bedrooms are available on site, and the grounds cover about five hectares of park and woodland.
Seminars and company events
The site lists seminars among the uses of the château, next to family weekends, large receptions and large-scale events. For a working day, the château reception hall is the more suitable room, with up to 70 people at tables. The barn, with two giant screens and projectors and a sound and light system, covers presentations and gala evenings for far larger groups. Marquees can be set up in the courtyard or in the park when an event needs more space. The venue sets out its facilities in general terms, so send your program and headcount and ask how the rooms would be arranged.

Accommodation
The château offers about fifteen bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, which can be made available for events. The site does not give a bed count, so ask how many guests the rooms can sleep in total. The venue calls the place suitable for guests staying a day or longer.
Catering
The official pages read for this profile do not describe a catering offer. Ask whether the venue has its own kitchen or works with approved caterers for dinners and banquets.
History and setting
The château has a coach tower, a main building in Louis XV style and a neo-Gothic chapel. The site traces its origins to the 12th century and says the limestone rubble used for the walls was kept through later changes. The owner has been restoring the place since the mid-1990s, and the site says it is meant to stay a living family château, not a museum. It stands along the Lesse, between the bridge and the mill.
Getting there
The château is in Resteigne, in the municipality of Tellin, in the Lesse valley, halfway between Brussels and Luxembourg, according to the venue.
