Winter weekend access by popular demand!

This winter, Kasteel Wijlre estate will be open every weekend. Due to the success of the exhibitions Maintaining its Spirit: Collection Marlies & Jo Eyck, and Thierry Oussou – Growing Poetics, visitors can now also visit the estate on Saturdays and Sundays during the winter months. Until 4 May, 2025, the exhibition can be visited not only at Bonnefanten, but also on weekends in Wijlre.

The winter opening hours start 1 December, 2024. As of 12 March, 2025, the regular Wednesday through Sunday opening hours will resume.

National funding

In early July 2024, buitenplaats Kasteel Wijlre received the positive news that it will be included in the Mondriaan Fund‘s ’Art Space Basis’ scheme for the 2025-2028 policy period. This structural support means that in the coming years, with our wonderful team and volunteers, we can continue to build on our beloved institution for contemporary art and nature in the South Limburg hill country. With exhibitions, public programs and education and participation activities in which we look at the themes of our time through the lens of the artist, presenting them to a wide audience. We are moving forward!
