Château Centerparcs

Vielsalm, Belgium, Belgium

---

Château Centerparcs refers to the historic castle and its surrounding estate that now form part of Center Parcs Les Ardennes, a large holiday resort near Vielsalm in the Belgian Ardennes, set on a 35‑hectare wooded site by the river Salm. 

The castle itself dates from the 18th century, stands on land that earlier hosted a hunting lodge of the counts of Vielsalm and became known as Château de la Grotte in the 19th century, and was later part of the former Golo Fa holiday complex before being acquired by the Pierre & Vacances–Center Parcs group and completely renovated in a major redevelopment project that began in 2017.

Today the château no longer functions as a private residence but has been converted into an attractive conference and event centre, offering meeting rooms and reception spaces for seminars, workshops and group programmes, while the rest of the estate comprises 350 cottages for families and groups, a subtropical swimming paradise (Aqua Mundo), an indoor action and play area (Action Factory with BALUBA), several restaurants, sports facilities and extensive outdoor routes for hiking, cycling and climbing in the surrounding Ardennes landscape.

Located just a few kilometres from the town centre and train station of Vielsalm, the Center Parcs Les Ardennes park, with its château at its heart, is promoted as one of Wallonia’s top destinations for short stays, family holidays and group events, combining a historic building with modern leisure and accommodation facilities in a forested, water‑rich setting close to the Salm, the nearby lake of Vielsalm and the valley of the Wilde.
