Set in the green landscape of Belgian Province Limburg, Alden Biesen is a remarkable historic estate with more than 800 years of history. Originally an important commandery of the Teutonic Order, it grew into a centre of religious, political and economic influence.

The castle is surrounded by beautiful gardens, each with its own character. The French Gardens feature elegant symmetry, geometric lines, trimmed hedges and colourful flowerbeds, while the English Park offers winding paths, open landscapes and romantic garden features such as the Temple of Minerva and a grotto.

The estate also includes historic orchards with hundreds of fruit varieties, creating a spectacular display of blossoms in spring. | Anzeige

🏰 Alden Biesen - Where 800 years of history meet beautiful gardens, architecture and the legacy of the Teutonic Order.

Located in the Haspengouw region of Limburg, Alden Biesen became an important land commandery of the Teutonic Order in the 13th century and later the centre of the Biesen bailiwick.

The impressive domain combines a moated castle, French Garden, English Park, orchards and historic buildings, reflecting centuries of architectural and cultural history. 🌿

After the French Revolution, the estate was confiscated and sold in 1797 to Guillaume Claes, who helped save it from demolition. In 1971, a devastating fire destroyed much of the castle, but the complex was later extensively restored.

Today, Alden Biesen is a vibrant heritage and cultural destination, hosting exhibitions, events and guided tours. The DOMUS Teutonic Order Museum tells the story of the knights, crusades and the people who shaped this remarkable place. | Anzeige
