Beautifully situated courtyard with an old clinker brick facade in the middle of nature.
Not far from the exposed highland cattle.
A nice place to stay

Alfa Brewery

Highlight • Structure

Joseph Meens founded the Meens Brewery in Thull bei Schinnen in 1870, which was operated together with a farm. The brewing of beer and the sale of spent grains, together with agriculture, provided higher yields. Although the brewing of bottom-fermented "Bavarian" beer became popular at the time of its founding, Meens first produced top-fermented beer. It was not until the turn of the century that the company switched to bottom-fermented beer production. Until 1960, Alfa beer was only available in the vicinity of the production site. With the growing prosperity, the beer became available all over the Netherlands.

Hoensbroek Castle

Highlight • Castle

After knight Herman Hoen had received the place Gebrook as a gift in 1388, the line living there added the place to their name to distinguish it from other lines of the Hoen family and called themselves Hoen tzo Broeck, Hoen van den Broeck and finally van Hoensbroeck, in German from ( and to) Hoensbroech. The name Hoensbroek then passed on to the castle and the place. But the old name Gebrookhoes or Kasteel Gebrook is still in use, especially in Limburg, where the castle Kesjtieël is called Gebrook and the village is also called Gebrook.
