コーゼン領主の城は、コーゼン、ワイエル、ステヴォールトの3つの自治体が合流する場所にあります。厳密には、城はワイエルの領土にあり、農家はコーゼンに、納屋はステヴォールトにあります。かつては、城跡地とこれら3つの村を結ぶ並木道がありました。 コーゼンで最も古い領主は、14世紀に生きたウェスマエル家です。1400年頃には、領地と城はディエスト家に属し、17世紀にはケルクヘム家がここで支配していました。門の一つ上には、家族の紋章が2度表示されている石があります。これは、アーノルド・デ・ケルクヘムとその妻で彼の姪でもあったアンネマリー・デ・ケルクヘムがここに住んでいた時代のものです。 まだ17世紀には、城は一時的にアルデンビーゼンのラントコマンドゥールに属していました。1699年からアフェルデン家がその領地を取得しました。彼らがコーゼンの最後の領主です。19世紀末には、城はジャケラールという人物の所有となっていました。彼は城を改築し、現在の姿を与えました。

これはケルクムの白い城で、アルスターグートではありません。アルスターグートは数100メートル先の教会通りにあります。

This small castle is actually a neoclassical manor house with accompanying service buildings and a farm complex from the 19th century, situated in a wooded park in a landscape style with remarkable old oaks and beeches.

Former seat of the lordship of Kerkom, named after the van Alsteren family, lords of Kerkom from the late 14th century to 1675. Subsequently, the Henrix, Everarts, and de Seroots families, and from 1707 to 1774, the van Schoor family, builders of the classical castle, held this title. In 1889, the current eclectic castle was built northwest of that castle, commissioned by a later heir, Baron F. de Moffart; the classical castle was then demolished, with the exception of the northeast wing and the eastern corner towers. Both buildings are situated within a spacious, wooded park with a pond, east of the church and north of Cicindria and Aalsterstraat; a terrace with two garden pavilions separates the two buildings. The remaining old wing served as the carriage house with servants' quarters. It has two stories under a hipped saddleback roof (artificial slate). It is constructed of brick with limestone used for the frames and cornerstones. Facade overlooking the former state square. To the southwest, the beginning of a former perpendicular wing, finished with reused materials after demolition: arched window with a trapezoidal keystone and a rectangular doorframe with a cornice. The rear facade faces the park, with a projecting section of four bays and two stories under the aforementioned hipped roof; a deeper bay of the same height as the connecting element with the tower. Corner tower of one bay and three stories under a mansard roof (slate) with a small pear spire. Aligning corner blocks. On the southwest side, on the second story, an arched cross window with an anchored trapezoidal keystone; on the third story, a segmental arch window in a flat anchored frame with beveled upper corners and a trapezoidal keystone. To the northwest, a terraced garden with a small, octagonal garden pavilion under a mansard roof (slate) on the two corners, north and west. A Classical building from 1760. Arched limestone windows and doors. Further northwest, the eclectic castle with three-bay, two-story cornice facades under a mansard roof (artificial slate) with hipped dormers and corner turrets. A brick building with abundant use of natural stone for window and door frames, lintels, and borders. Inventory of Immovable Heritage: Kerkom Castle, https://id.erfgoed.net/erfgoedobjecten/84286

Kiewit Castle (not to be confused with Kewith Castle) is a small castle in Kiewit, located in the Kiewit Nature Reserve. It is a neoclassical mansion, built in the second half of the 19th century. Originally, this was an estate with several small farms. In 1868, Hubert Dominique Vroonen bought this estate. His son Emile had the mansion built. A park in English landscape style was also constructed. In 1944, the castle was badly damaged. The domain with mansion was bought by the municipality of Hasselt in 1953, and it rented it to the diocese of Hasselt until 1970, which had a meditation center there. From 1970 to 1974, it was occupied by the Trappistine sisters. After this, it was transformed into a public park with, among other things, a petting zoo, and in 1976 it was opened to the public. The country house consists of three bays and has two floors and an attic floor under a mansard roof. The middle bay has an entrance and a balcony resting on pillars above the entrance doors. Behind the castle are service buildings and housing for the staff. Behind that is a semi-enclosed farm whose core dates from the 17th century and was originally built in half-timbered construction.
