The outer courtyard is a U-shaped complex, built from 1634 onwards by Land Commander Godfried Huijn van Geleen and contained, among other things, the church and the hospital.

The outer court is mainly characterized by the presence of the church. It all started with the church for the Grand Commandery. More than 800 years ago a chapel stood here and over the centuries the church grew into the baroque masterpiece of today.

The Buitenhof is closed off with a blind wall with embrasures and a monumental entrance gate, so that the leased farm was also within the defensible shelter of the whole.
