Discover our beautiful castle
Chateau Varoy
Our Château Varoy is located on an extensive estate of 25 ha, in the middle of nature.
It is the base for most of our programs. After a day full of challenging activities, this is the perfect place to reflect, relax and unwind. The castle is timeless and at the same time offers the necessary comfort, so that you are amazed by this place again and again.
Should you wonder how an old castle can meet contemporary needs and expectations, we are happy to tell you that the castle was completely renovated in 2020, with respect for the original appearance. The castle now has room for 26 people. There are 2 kitchens, 2 dining rooms, 2 meeting rooms, and on the 2 upper floors 10 twin and 2 triple bedrooms. Every room is equipped with quality beds and its own bathroom. Bed and bath linen can be provided on request.
How to get to Château Varoy
Château Varoy 104
rue de la Molignée
5537 Anhée, Warnant
A better climate starts with reducing our CO2 emissions, among other things. At the same time, as a society we cannot (yet) avoid all CO2 emissions. Outward Bound tries to contribute to a more sustainable world, which is why we invite you to also think of public transport such as the train, cycling, walking, ... on your journey to château Varoy.
By train
The nearest train station is Yvoir, on the other side of the Meuse. From there it is still about 4 km on foot (or running, cycling, …).
Walking tip
once you have crossed the Meuse, continue walking along the RAVeL L150 instead of along the rue de la Molignée (see red line). That is not only more pleasant, but also safer.
The RAVeL L150 crosses a number of roads: the rue de la Molignée, rue Maison de Pierre and rue de la Gare. When the RAVeL L150 crosses the rue de la Molignée again (close to the start of the railbikes), walk back about 200 m to the left to reach the main entrance (house no. 104) of our estate.
By car
Current GPS systems usually lead you smoothly by car to Chateau Varoy. You can park at the front of our estate (to the left in front of the gate).
If you decide to come to Château Varoy by car, we are happy to offer you the possibility to offset your CO2 emissions locally, by co-investing in the preservation and care of our Natura 2000 area. With the CO2 compensation we actively invest in biodiversity, forest preservation and forest protection on the Varoy estate, and forêt de la Creûte in Anhée.
Coming to Château Varoy by car?
Then consider carpooling. Along the E411 there are plenty of carpool car parks, which make it easy to share (part of) the journey with fellow participants from different corners of the country. That is sociable, cheaper and better for nature. You can park at the front of our estate (to the left in front of the gate).
Château Varoy earns the Green Key label
Sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are at the heart of how we work at Outward Bound Belgium. We take our responsibility towards the environment, society and the economy seriously, and actively invest in sustainability – in our programs, in our daily operations and at our locations.
Château Varoy, our base for most programs, plays a key role in this. We are therefore proud to announce that the castle has now obtained the Green Key certificate.
Green Key is an internationally recognised quality label for sustainable tourist accommodation. Obtaining this label is an important milestone within our broader sustainability policy and underlines our commitment to working responsibly and with a view to the future.
This result is the outcome of many efforts – from energy and water savings to waste management and conscious purchasing. In this way we are building a greener Château Varoy step by step, ready for the future.
This is not an end point, but a new beginning. Together we keep making a difference.
