The St. Mauritius Church is located directly behind the Bilzen town hall. It is one of the rare hall churches in the region. The interior has been beautifully restored in the neo-Gothic style and tradition. The entire furnishing concept was thought about: the beautiful late Gothic imagery was integrated into baroque elements. The rich neo-Gothic coloring of the stained glass windows and modern paintings is strange and striking. Under the tower, the museum room refers to the connection with the land commander Alden Biesen.
