Something special is coming soon
After the recent fire that sadly forced us to close our beloved Stables Restaurant for the next few months, our team has been busy behind the scenes, turning a tough moment into something positive. We’re excited to share something special with you on Wednesday – and we can’t wait for you to experience it.
Snap and shine in our photo contest
See Vergelegen through a striking new lens. This year's Photography Contest invites professional and amateur photographers to capture the estate in black and white, embracing mood, texture, and contrast during the autumn months of April and May.
With the dramatic landscapes, historic architecture, gardens, and food experiences of this provincial heritage site as your canvas, you can enter the Camera, Smartphone or Junior (16 & under) categories. We’re proud to once again partner with Orms and bring exciting prizes and added inspiration to this year’s competition. Monochrome, timeless and creative – now’s the moment to plan your shot.
