The Open Gate

The Open Gate is a beautiful square farm where agriculture has been practiced by the same family for generations. Here, the artist Tilly Gielen lives and works. She exhibits her watercolors, silk works, acrylics, and oil paintings. Behind the walls of this characterful building lies a high level of relaxation. Staying at the home of this hostess is synonymous with luxury, taste, comfort, and service. The Open Gate is a meeting place with numerous possibilities in the field of art, culture, and tourism. You can enjoy or participate in exhibitions, workshops, introductory courses, recreational sports, and nature experiences, horse walks (with or without guidance), and various relaxation therapies. Once, the surroundings were the setting for fierce battles, now an oasis of peace just 100 meters from the Demer spring. At that spring stands a monument in honor of Ernest Claes, one of the greatest advocates of the Demer. Not far away, in Berg, lies the Galgeberg. This is not only a strategic height but also the place where sentences were carried out.
