Kasteel Wijlre estate is a cultural institution dedicated to contemporary art and nature. The estate combines contemporary art and architecture with cultural heritage and nature and intertwines five centuries; the seventeenth-century castle, the eighteenth-century Coach House, the nineteenth-century design of the castle gardens, the permanent works in the twentieth-century park, and the Hedge House art pavilion and its program of contemporary art in the twenty-first century.

Kasteel Wijlre estate organises exhibitions, research projects, public programs and educational activities in the Hedge House, the Coach House and gardens. The connection and exchange between art and nature is an important focus point of its program, within which the estate explores questions around ecology and climate through the lens of contemporary art. The imagination of the visual arts plays a crucial role in this: how can it help us to rethink our relationship with nature, and imagine the world differently?

Kasteel Wijlre estate is located in the hills of Zuid-Limburg. It plays an active role in the cultural infrastructure of the so-called Euregio, and initiates and maintains artistic and other collaborations with cultural institutions in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany (and beyond). In its relatively short existence, it has developed into an important destination for those interested in international contemporary art, and nature & garden lovers alike.
