Tiendschuur Herkenrode

Welcome to the Tiendschuur

Always dreamed of a fairytale wedding, far away from civilisation yet easily accessible? Enjoy your dream party at this unique heritage site near the heart of Hasselt! Discover the peace and quiet of a green oasis and the magic of an authentic barn at Herkenrode Abbey. With its hundred hectares of nature reserve and twelfth-century farm buildings, you will enter a special, fairy-tale world at the Tiendschuur. The Tiendschuur is completely sealed off from the outside world, a stone's throw from the centre of Hasselt and the motorways, ready to write your story. 

From intimate wedding celebration to sumptuous gala ball: the Tiendschuur is a versatile venue with centuries-old rooms, an inner courtyard and several inspiration gardens. The Tiendschuur offers an infinite range of indoor and outdoor possibilities to fill your day in the atmosphere and setting of your dreams. The surroundings offer a unique backdrop to any ceremony, reception or photo shoot. Four seasons, each with a unique and panoramic colour palette. To guarantee high quality and service on all facets of your wedding, the Tiendschuur Herkenrode team offers an all-in service led by the experienced and dedicated hostess Ancy. They will personally assist you at the Tiendschuur from day one for a unique setting and perfect interpretation - from the most suitable place for your dream ceremony, photo shoot or opening dance to the choice of your favourite creative food concept.

Party rooms 

You can hardly get away from civilisation any faster: as soon as you leave the motorway, you drive as long (read: five hundred metres) to the abbey site as you do on the impressive driveway itself. This leads you via a spacious car park along an idyllic path, surrounded by orchards lit by candles at night, to the Tiendschuur gatehouse. This old gatehouse, the stately coach house and the horse stables together with the Tiendschuur form the U-shaped manor with a special courtyard. Lovely to welcome your guests with an aperitif, if necessary covered by tents if the weather gods do not allow it. 

The two-hectare surrounding garden of the Tiendschuur offers a unique botanical spectacle of hundreds of different herbs, curving water basins lined with green lilies, fountains and an arching green walkway. You overlook the infinite landscape of grasslands, marshes, orchards and water that surround the nature reserve. An original setting for your reception, ceremony and photo shoot. 

The 700-square-metre monumental Tiendschuur, where the 'tithes' were stored in the seventeenth century, can accommodate 100 to 600 guests. Thanks to its authentic wooden structure, this spacious hall nevertheless has an intimate character. For a seated dinner, the Tiendschuur can accommodate 250 guests, while a reception or walking dinner is possible for up to 600 guests. This can be perfectly combined with a wedding celebration in the hall or on the stage floor of the Tiendschuur.

Catering

At the Tiendschuur, a successful party experience is inextricably linked to food. This goes beyond arts in the kitchen: the range of refreshing food concepts is worked out to the smallest detail of taste and experience. Each food concept offers its own and quirky menu selection, presentation & service. From interactive apero & sweet "boutiques", decorative street food stalls and grill bars to culinary dinners - for every appetite and desired atmosphere. Or do you have specific wishes and needs? Then the Tiendschuur team will work out a tailor-made proposal for you.
