The Clemens Domain in Oud Merkelbeek is a characteristic and historic national monument, located in the municipality of Brunssum, close to the border with Beekdaelen.
This special domain forms a green, tranquil enclave full of history and spirituality. The site includes four national monuments: the centuries-old Clemens Church, an atmospheric Lourdes grotto, the grave monument of Baron De Negri and his spouse, and the remains of the old cloister wall made of ornamental brickwork that surrounds the grounds, reminding you of the religious past of this place.
The Clemens Domain is not only of cultural and historical value, but also serves as a center for nature education and reflection, where young and old come into contact with nature, weather, bees, and contemplation.
Would you like to discover the special stories or take a look inside? You can do so easily through the 360-degree tour or by listening to the audio tour. You can also find both tours quickly and easily by scanning the QR codes on the plaque at the church façade.
The Clemens Domain is buzzing with activities: concerts, lectures, and conferences are regularly held here. In addition, it is officially recognized as a civil wedding location.
Both the Clemens Church and the visitor pavilion can be rented for special events that perfectly suit the atmosphere of this beautiful place.
