The Commandery of Gruitrode is an important cultural-historical heritage in Gruitrode, in the north of Belgian Limburg. Until 1801, the commandery was one of the twelve commanderies within the Biesen bailiff of the Teutonic Order and was therefore subordinate to the Grand Commander in Alden Biesen. The commandery served as a stopover to the Empire of Gemert, in the direction of 's-Hertogenbosch.
The medieval castle was a beautiful moated castle whose canals were fed by the Itterbeek, followed by a leasehold farm. The importance of the commandery is apparent from the fact that coins were minted in Gruitrode. Gruitrode grew into an important regional trade center.
The commandery is located in the Belgian sub-municipality of Gruitrode in the province of Limburg. The commandery consisted of a castle separated by a moat and a square farm.
