Het Poorthuis

This charming former gatekeepers dwelling is only 5 km from the centre of Maastricht. The Poorthuis is located at the entrance to the Castle Vaeshartelt estate, in a 10 hectare park with ponds and centuries old trees. The history of the Poorthuis goes back to 1868, when the driveway to Castle Vaeshartelt gained the gatekeepers home which was also hired out for guests of the castle. At the beginning of 1900, the home was replaced by the current gatehouse. The comfortably furnished house has a walled terrace and offers a view of the meadows where cows graze in the summer. During you stay, you can use all of the castle facilities, such as the restaurant and café, for a lovely breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is bread roll service in the Poorthuis, and you can also order picnic baskets and hire bicycles. During a stay in the Poorthuis, you cant miss a visit to the cultural and culinary city of Maastricht. Discover the Limburg hills on foot or by bike, and enjoy the peace and quiet of Burgundian hospitality.
