about us
The Melkerij is a modernist architectural gem, serving as both a residence and a gathering space for individuals working towards personal and professional goals.
Located in the quaint village of Veltem-Beisem (just a very short distance from Leuven and close to Brussels), The Melkerij is an ideal retreat for those seeking a place to unwind, work on their aspirations, and be inspired by the creative and artistic environment
Lisa and Luis purchased this property in 2020 when Lisa was pregnant. Our 3-year-old son, Raffi, was born at the end of December in the year of the pandemic. Luis is a painter and has his studio in the residence. Together with Lisa, he runs de Melkerij and launched Gallery 22a. Lisa is a writer, loves photography and acting, yoga enthusiast, and enjoys bringing people together. We love traveling and exploring new places with our little son.
What our clients say

De Melkerij is a truly fantastic location which I recently discovered. You can feel the pleasant and artistic atmosphere created by Lisa and Luis, filled with lots of love. It is fully wheelchair accessible, there is a beautiful garden, the large windows provide plenty of natural light, and there is a bar available, tailored made for events. We’ve celebrated our two-year anniversary of No Babes Agency and everything went so smoothly. Lisa and Luis were very helpful and friendly, and their communication was impeccable. I highly recommend this place!

As an experienced workshop facilitator and trainer, I visit a wide variety of meeting venues. And without a doubt: De Melkerij is truly a hidden gem! Lots of space, lots of light, lots of flexibility in terms of room setup, very well located, and a wonderful setting in the greenery with the very helpful Lisa and Luis.
