From the road you can see the entrance gate

Former St. Elizabeth's Monastery. Description: two perpendicular wings (eighteenth century), but significantly modernized. Wide facade with anchor date 1778 and a round-arched gate in a blocky rectangular bluestone frame; windows in segmental arched bluestone frames. In the garden, a fragment with an octagonal turret, capped by a trimmed spire, with old fragments (fifteenth century). Near the complex is a so-called "plague house" made of brick. In 1240, Dirk van Altena founded a Caulier monastery here. In 1435, the monastery passed to the Congregation of Windesheim. After its destruction in 1578, reconstruction began in 1603. The two existing perpendicular wings were built against the wing from 1656, destroyed in 1944. Of the monastery chapel, demolished in 1801, only the octagonal stair tower remains. At its foot, a small chapel was built using classicist pilasters, prongs, and a shell-shaped pediment (mid-17th century). The monastery was used for a time as a holiday and nursing home for the Little Sisters of St. Joseph, but is now part of the Land van Horne Foundation.

Kasteel Beverbeek is a castle located northwest of Hamont in the Belgian province of Limburg. The castle is located at Beverbeek 19. The area was part of the goods of the lordship of Grevenbroek, and was sold on April 16, 1722. The part that was in Achel, is the current Beverbeekhoeve. The part in Hamont, with the so-called Nieuwe Hoeve, was sold separately. In 1875, however, it was purchased by Mathias Joannes Petrus Slegers, who had also purchased the domain of the Beverbeekhoeve the year before. This farm was demolished in 1878, but in the immediate vicinity of it, the current castle in Tudor style was built in 1889, designed by the architect Mathieu Christiaens for Joseph Slegers (°1837). He was a doctor of law and lawyer in Tongeren. He was married to Joséphine Schaetzen (Liège, °1849) the daughter of Willem Schaetzen and Hortense Verpoorten. This castle is a striking, high building with a bay window and flanked by a platform. The castle is situated in a park of 3 ha, designed in English landscape style, and equipped with a pond.

In 1899, the farm that belonged to the castle was demolished. A villa took its place. This was the basis for the current castle-like building, which was equipped with a tower at the beginning of the 20th century. Former town hall of the municipality of Maarheeze In 1938, the then municipality of Maarheeze bought the property and the castle was converted into a town hall. This remained until 1997, when the municipality of Maarheeze merged into the merged municipality of Cranendonck.

Also a beautiful location for parties, business lunches, funerals and much more. For more information, please visit the website castlegrootbuggenum.nl
