EXTRA COSY
A STYLISH LIVING ROOM
Step away from the dance floor into a space that feels like the best living room you've ever been in.
Design lounge chairs, warm candlelight, an open fireplace — and a bar that doesn't close.
This is where the real conversations happen. Where the night slows down just enough to savour it.
FESTIVAL VIBE
GLAMPING THE LUXE
Your people. Your island. Your own little world.
Spread across the grounds of the fortress, cosy glamping accommodations for you and your crew. No taxi home. No hotel check-in.
Just your friends, the island, and a three-day celebration that feels like your own private festival. Wake up together.
Do it all over again.
PLANNED FOR 2027
BATHING UNDER THE STARS
Because a festival wedding deserves a moment like this.
Hot water, cold drinks, your favourite people, the stars above the Waal river.
Large outdoor hot tub for up to 25 guests planned for 2027. Winter installation subject to completion.
*Concept image. Final design may differ.
LOCATIONS FOR THE
Ceremony
The Tower holds you close — forty people, thick stone walls, warm candlelight. De Berenkuil adds drama and atmosphere. The waterfront gives you sky, river and a view that takes your breath away. You choose the moment. We take care of the rest.

INTIMATE
HISTORIC
THE TOWER
An intimate ceremony in the heart of the fortress
- Step through the arched entrance into a vaulted brick room that has been waiting 180 years for this moment. Low rounded arches, warm candlelight, cobblestone floors. Intimate without being small. Historic without being cold. When you say your vows here, the acoustics carry them perfectly — as if the fort itself is listening.
Theatrical
All weather
THE BERENKUIL
A TENT THAT FEELS LIKE A THEATRE
- Crystal chandeliers. Wooden beams. White draped fabric. De Berenkuil is a permanent tent that feels simultaneously intimate and theatrical. Rain or shine — the chandeliers are always lit, and it never loses its magic. Make your entrance in an unforgettable way!
OPEN AIR
PANORAMIC
THE CEREMONY FIELD
THE RIVER - THE BREEZE -THE MOMENT
- The Waal stretching in both directions, Slot Loevestein on the opposite bank, the wind in the reeds. A ceremony on the open ramparts is the kind of moment that photographs itself — and stays with your guests forever. This is also the perfect location for a Long table dinner under the trees of the Island.
