The castle of the Lords of Kozen stands at the intersection of three municipalities: Kozen, Wijer, and Stevoort. Strictly speaking, the castle is located on the territory of Wijer, the farmstead is in Kozen, and the barn is in Stevoort. The castle site was once connected to these three villages. The oldest known Lords of Kozen belong to the Van Wesemael family, who lived in the fourteenth century. Around 1400, the manor and castle belonged to the De Diest family, and in the seventeenth century, the De Kerckhem family held sway here. Above one of the gates, a stone can be seen depicting the family's coat of arms twice. It dates from the time when Arnold de Kerckhem and his wife, Annemarie de Kerckhem, who was also his cousin, lived here. As late as the seventeenth century, the castle belonged for a time to the Land Commander of Alden Biesen. In 1699, the Van Afferden family acquired the estate. They are the last lords of Kozen. At the end of the nineteenth century, the castle was owned by a certain Jacquelart. He renovated the castle and gave it its current appearance.

An old fort that dates from the war. If there is a guide you can visit it. Really worth it. When you are on top of the fort you have a view over the entire city of Diest. In the fort also live a lot of bats.

The oldest mention of this free heritage dates from the Middle Ages (mid-14th century). The Lobos heritage originally consisted of an upper court (fortified house, probably flanked by a donjon (fortified tower)), a barnyard or farm, a warande (this is a hunting estate), waters, fields, meadows and forests and fishing. The whole was surrounded by a moat and earthen wall. The domain previously had a military character and had the appearance of a small castle. This 'castellum' was located on a 'motte', an artificial height in the middle of the swampy wetland of the Zwarte Beek. The domain was originally part of the manor of Zelem, owned by the lords of Diest. These, as a reward for services rendered, removed the property from that manor and gave it away as a free heritage to the Diest knight family of the Boogaerde alias van Lobosch. They thus acquired full ownership and no longer had any obligations to the feudal lord. The first owners, the Van den Boogaerde family (14th century), sold the domain to the Vilters family (15th century). In 1465 the castle was destroyed. In the 16th century the domain was sold to the de Geloes family. They had the castle rebuilt (17th century) into an adapted residence with the necessary comfort. Parts of the moat were used to embellish the garden and are still visible today. After the death of Arnold de Geloes' wife in 1781, this branch of the family was completely extinct and there were no longer any direct heirs to the considerable estate. Ultimately, the property came into the hands of another branch of the de Geloes family and 300 years of rule over the Lobos by the noble de Geloes family came to an end. Fact: our queen Mathilde d'Udekom d'Acoz is descended from the de Geloes family and the Vilters de Lobos family.

Nieuwenhoven Castle is situated in a beautiful, fertile location amidst forests and farmland in the south of Belgian Limburg. Since the year 800, two farms and four castles have stood here in succession, built and demolished under the influence of history. Initially a country retreat for Benedictine monks, after the French Revolution the castle came into the hands of the nobility. History reveals that the castle primarily served as a "pleasure garden for nourishing body and mind." More information: https://www.kasteelnieuwenhoven.be/
