On the banks of the River Scheldt, in the heart of a designated quiet nature reserve, stands Paviljoen De Notelaer: an elegant 18th-century domed pavilion built as the summer residence of Duke d’Ursel. Today, you can stay in this very special place, carefully restored, furnished with timeless design, and surrounded by nature and silence. A unique experience for anyone who appreciates elegance, history, and absolute tranquility. Inside, every room breathes character: tall windows overlooking the water, original herringbone parquet floors, soft tones, and thoughtfully selected design pieces that enhance the historic charm.

The pavilion accommodates 6 people across three stylishly decorated bedrooms, each fitted with soft linen. The bathroom is a luxurious retreat with a private sauna made of Scandinavian spruce and a spacious rain shower. In the living room, a view awaits that you won’t soon forget: the Scheldt, its riverbanks, and the surrounding greenery. From the dining room with its large table, you can walk straight into the iconic dome room and onto the private terrace on the river side—an enchanting spot to sit, read, or simply take in the landscape.

A stay here is a choice for serenity, style, and intimacy. The surroundings offer endless walking trails, cycling routes through the Schelde-Durme landscape, and historical sites. In 2025, the Pavilion received the European Slow Heritage label, recognising its authentic heritage experience. Here, you stay in a place rich in history, with all the comforts of today.
