Holiday apartment in Molenschot: Nature, Pilgrimage and Alpacas

Molenschot reveals its character through several distinct facets: sport, religious history, landscape and animal experiences offer different ways to shape your stay. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Molenschot, you can plan your trip around whether shared experiences in nature, cultural impressions, golf or time with animals should take centre stage.

Golf and the history of Saint Anne

The golf course of Toxandria Golf Club in Molenschot was originally designed by British golf-course architect Harry S. Colt. Toxandria Golf Club welcomes green-fee players as well as guests introduced by a member.

Another side of Molenschot can be seen in the history of the Brotherhood of Saint Anne. It was founded on 1 June 1879; annual pilgrimages from the surrounding area subsequently began. The feast day of Saint Anne takes place on 26 July and is celebrated annually in St Anne’s Church. The veneration of Saint Anne in Molenschot has a long history; the chapel opposite the church was dedicated to her in the 19th century.

Chapels, pilgrimage and fixed dates

At St Anne’s Chapel, visitors can light a candle every day from 10:00 to 18:00 in summer and from 10:00 to 17:00 in winter. During a pilgrimage to Saint Anne in Molenschot, believers ask for her intercession in matters concerning marriage and family, when wishing for a spouse and when hoping to have children. Visitors interested in religious history therefore have both a specific place to visit and a recurring feast day to attend.

Landscape between farmland, woodland and village

The Boomkikkerpad is part of an ecological corridor and leads through farmland, woodland and the characteristic village of Molenschot. The trail begins at Landgoed Toxandria, Veenstraat 89, in Molenschot.

Alpacas and local products

At Recreatieboerderij Wilgenhart, visitors can see the alpacas, take them for a walk or feed them. During Wilgenhart’s high tea, guests can feed the alpacas between the two rounds. The Wilgenhart grounds also have a farm shop where local products can be purchased. This makes the visit a combination of an animal experience and regional products.

Choose a holiday apartment based on your interests

A habitat for the European tree frog has been created on the site along Broekstraat in Molenschot. This connection with nature conservation complements the natural character of the area. When choosing a holiday apartment in Molenschot, you can therefore first consider whether nature, culture, golf or animal experiences should shape your holiday. These clear focal points make it easier to factor your preferred daily activities into your choice of accommodation from the outset.
