The landlady Alden Biesen was founded in the 13th century by the German Order of Knights and was the headquarters of the Order's Province between the Meuse and the Rhine. Today, the castle is used as a cultural center of the Flemish community. It organ concerts and operas are organized and there is a permanent exhibition on the Teutonic Knights.
