Discover Borghees: Manor House, Culture and Forest
Accommodation in Borghees
In Borghees Forest, between meadows and pollarded willows, stands Haus Borghees, locally known as Schlösschen Borghees. The historic house was built around the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries and now serves as a small cultural centre for the city of Emmerich am Rhein. The Schlösschen Borghees ensemble comprises the Kulturscheune, Catharinas KulturgARTen and the Herrenhaus Schlösschen Borghees. Concerts, theatre, the garden and the hiking route offer different highlights for a trip to Borghees.
Concerts and Theatre at the Manor House
The “Konzertmatineè im Schlösschen Borghees” concert series takes place in the Kaminzimmer at 11:30 a.m. on the second Sunday of every month. Check the specific date before your trip. The TIK Figuren- und Marionettentheater has been performing at Schlösschen Borghees since 2008. Together, the matinée and theatre bring different types of performance to the ensemble: music in the Kaminzimmer and puppet theatre at the manor house. If a particular programme is the reason for your trip, plan around the relevant event date.
Garden with Herbs and Exhibitions
Catharinas KulturgARTen has a labelled herb garden and raised beds. Visitors may harvest and sample herbs with care; availability can vary by season. Outdoor exhibitions of art and crafts are held in the garden from time to time, and individual exhibitions may change. These are two separate considerations when planning your trip: potential harvests depend on the season, while the exhibition programme may change.
The Kulturscheune as an Event Venue
The accessible Kulturscheune can be booked for events such as concerts or meetings. It has a small stage and can accommodate a maximum of 70 people seated. If you are considering holding an event yourself, accessibility, the stage and the maximum capacity provide concrete planning details; tailor your booking to your plans.
