A heavenly overnight stay in a restored chapel. The chapel in the Veluwe is a unique place to stay, surrounded by nature and within walking distance of the entrance to the Hoge Veluwe. The chapel is a folly—a building with unusual architecture that tricks the eye. Nothing is as it seems with this chapel either, because it’s certainly not small. Beneath the chapel lies an entire new floor, which features a mirrored facade on the outside and, thanks to the reflection of the surrounding greenery, blends almost completely into its surroundings. Upstairs, you’ll find the kitchen-diner, a cozy, spacious dining table, and a snug sitting area with a pellet stove. Downstairs, nature and natural light stream into the bedrooms through the tall windows. Enjoy the sweeping views of the natural surroundings and experience the outdoors in all its facets throughout every season. Suitable for up to 6 people (maximum of 5 adults).
Nature and surroundings
You don't really have to go anywhere, because you're already there when you step out of the chapel. Surrounding the cottage is a terrace that blends seamlessly into the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The chapel is located in the heart of the Buitenplaats Koningsweg nature reserve, right in the middle of the Veluwe, north of Arnhem’s bustling city center. The Buitenplaats Koningsweg is a cultural enclave in nature—an inspiring, wooded spot for creative entrepreneurs with a rich history. There’s plenty to do in the surrounding area—for young and old alike! After a short walk, you’ll find yourself at the entrance to De Hoge Veluwe National Park, home to the famous Kröller-Müller Museum. The Open Air Museum, Burger’s Zoo, and the Posbank are just a few minutes’ drive from the Kleine Kapel.

Due to circumstances, there were just the two of us staying in this house. Our friends were staying in other follies on the property. The way these follies are designed is ingenious, with an eye for sustainability, technology, and craftsmanship.
Door omstandigheden waren we met 2 personen in deze woning. Vrienden verbleven in andere follies op het terrein. De manier waarop deze follies zijn ontworpen zijn ingenieus. Met oog voor duurzaaamheid, techniek en vakwerk.
A truly special place, surrounded by beautiful nature near Arnhem (within biking distance) and serving as a gateway to the Hoge Veluwe (within walking distance). The house is truly fantastic; the illusion of a small church disappears the moment you step inside: a cozy, inviting, and sustainably furnished space with plenty of room for lounging and dining. A great kitchen, and then—when you go down the stairs—a large, luxurious shower area and comfortably furnished sleeping quarters. When you’re sitting outside and are lucky enough to catch some sunshine, you’ll feel like you’re right in the heart of the best that Dutch nature has to offer.
Een heel bijzondere plek, midden in prachtige natuur nabij Arnhem (op fietsafstand) en een ingang naar de Hoge Veluwe (op loopafstand). Het huis is werkelijk fantastisch, de illusies van een klein kerkje verdwijnt direct als je binnen stapt: een knusse, gezellige en duurzaam ingerichte ruimte met voldoende plek voor loungen en aan tafel zitten. Een geweldige keuken en dan -als je de trap afgaat, een grote luxe douchegelegenheid en gezellig ingerichte slaapplekken. Als je buiten zit en het geluk hebt van een zonnetje, waan je je midden in het beste wat de Nederlandse natuur kan geven.

A wonderful place—definitely worth a return visit!
Een heerlijke plek, voor herhaling vatbaar!
Five of us friends spent a wonderful weekend at the Kleine Kapel. As soon as you arrive, you can already feel the tension melt away thanks to the lovely surroundings. The moment the chapel door opens, you step into a beautiful, stylishly decorated oasis of space and tranquility. The cottage is fully equipped with all the amenities, and the space is used cleverly. For example, the sofa can be extended with a pull-out section, so we could all stretch out comfortably. The ground floor is fantastic—you wake up surrounded by nature. On our last morning, we were even able to have breakfast on the terrace in the sunshine.
There’s plenty to do in the area: the Kröller-Müller Museum is nearby, and with the white bikes or a rented gravel bike (also nearby), you can easily take a lovely ride across the beautiful heath. There are lots of nice little restaurants nearby (tip: walk to Il Lupo), and Arnhem is just around the corner.
We were far from done chatting and hiking—we’d love to come back to this wonderful spot again!Met 5 vriendinnen hebben wij een heerlijk weekend doorgebracht in de Kleine Kapel. Bij aankomst voel je je schouders al zakken door de fijne omgeving. Zodra de deur van de kapel opengaat kom je in een prachtig, stijlvol ingerichte oase van ruimte en rust. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien en de ruimte is slim gebruikt. De bank is bijv. uit te breiden met een onderschuifdeel, waardoor we allemaal lekker konden neerploffen. De benedenverdieping is geweldig, je wordt wakker midden in de natuur. De laatste ochtend konden we zelfs ontbijten op het terras in het zonnetje.
Er is veel te doen in de omgeving: het Kröller-Müller museum is vlakbij, met de witte fietsen of een gehuurde gravelbike (ook vlakbij) fiets je zo een heerlijke tocht over de prachtige hei. Er zijn veel leuke restaurantjes in de buurt (tip: wandel naar Il Lupo) en Arnhem is om de hoek.
Wij waren nog lang niet uitgekletst en gewandeld, we komen heel graag nog een keer terug op deze zalige plek!This text is automatically translated.
