Commanderie Castle (Sint-Pieters-Voeren)

The larger surroundings, the park and the (official) source of the Voer have a historical value as part of the commandery site. Its artistic value lies mainly in the wooded park with the trout ponds that are fed by the particularly watery spring of the Voer.

In 1320 there was already a commander Van Bronchorst here. Together with eleven other bailiwicks, Sint-Pieters-Voeren depended on the land commandery of Alden Biesen. The current castle was the commandery, the residence of the local commander. Sint-Pieters-Voeren had 39 commanders over the centuries.
