The Herb and Inspiration Garden, covering two hectares, is best described as a contemporary herb park. So don't expect an abbey garden or a reproduction of it, but a modern garden with a special architecture.

The Herb and Inspiration Garden contains more than 500 different herbs and herbaceous plants, all with a nameplate. The whole is surrounded by canals. You can admire not only the beautiful garden, but also the impressive surroundings. Relax and be inspired by all that beauty!

A visit to the Herbal Inspiration takes about an hour. Paid entrance.

The entrance is no longer paying, that only applies to the experience center. You do have to register at the reception and then you can enter for free. Here you do have a view but the entrance is inside, on the path from the gatehouse to the watermill, so register first.
