The Gatehouse, together with the moated castle and the outer bailey, belong to the oldest parts: in the Apostles' House, remains of the late Gothic ordinance from the second half of the 16th century from the building campaign of Land Commander Wijnandt van Brijel have been preserved. The buildings are being restored or redesigned by Land Commander Caspar Anton van der Heyden de Belderbusch in 1755.
The complex (Gatehouse, Apostles' House, Trumpeter's House) is located at the highest point of the domain, on the eastern side of the commandery. At the gate, seven avenues come together, as a symbol of the Seven Sorrows and Joys of Mary.

In the Trumpet Building (formerly the gatekeeper's home), Trèscape, an escape room company, has now established itself with the escape room "The Lost Treasure of Alden Biesen". This was previously located in the cellars of the castle of Alden Biesen. Trèscape has also developed an "Escape walk". That's walking in a different way. 😉

Outside the gate is an intersection where seven roads converged at the time. Currently there are still six.
