Public parking, occasional event noise
Kapelstraat, 2330, Merksplas
Been here?
A quiet, spacious public parking area at the former Merksplas colony, with many marked walking and cycling routes and a restaurant beside it. The setting includes a chapel used for events and a prison opposite. Occasional events can bring many cars or evening noise, although recent stays were peaceful.

Quiet parking for one or more nights, with superb walks to do in nature. A very good restaurant is next to the parking area. I recommend it for a relaxing weekend.Translating
In the car park of the Colony, a former shelter for vagrants. Today there is a prison and a closed centre for rejected asylum seekers. There is also a chapel used for events and parties. Many walking opportunities with signposted routes in beautiful surroundings. Afterwards, you can eat and/or drink something in the lovely brasserie. Small parking spaces. We had two peaceful nights.Translating
We spent a Saturday night there in August. The church had been transformed into a nightclub—completely unexpected, but a great evening nonetheless. The prison directly opposite was also a surprise, but the building is exceptional.Translating
Amazing place with quite a dark history. On the (Saturday) night we stayed there was an event on and lots of cars in the car park but it was quiet despite this and had a great night. Lots of spaces, walks and cycle routes.
