The Commanderie is a textbook example of the Maasland Renaissance style, recognizable by: brick construction combined with Namur stone; straight, symmetrical volumes; decorative tiers of brick; a closed, almost monastic courtyard.

Commanderie Castle is one of the most historically significant buildings in the region. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages: as early as the 13th century, a settlement of the Teutonic Knights existed here, from which the name "Commanderie" is derived. The castle was not only a stately residence but also an administrative and economic center for the surrounding lands. The complex is surrounded by a moat and has been rebuilt and expanded several times over the centuries. A characteristic feature is the combination of medieval foundations with later Renaissance and Baroque elements. Particularly striking are the picturesque courtyard, the historic farm buildings, and the castle grounds surrounded by avenues and meadows. After the end of the Order's rule, the property passed into private hands and was used for agricultural purposes for a time. Today, Commanderie Castle is privately owned but parts of it are used for cultural and tourist activities. The castle represents the eventful history of the border region between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany and reflects the influence of religious orders of knights on the cultural landscape of this region.

In 1320 there was already a commander Van Bronchorst here. Together with eleven other bailiwicks, Sint-Pieters-Voeren depended on the land commandery of Alden Biesen. The current castle was the commandery, the residence of the local commander. Sint-Pieters-Voeren had 39 commanders over the centuries. (Wikipedia)

The larger surroundings, the park and the (official) source of the Voer have a historical value as part of the commandery site. Its artistic value lies mainly in the wooded park with the trout ponds that are fed by the particularly watery spring of the Voer.

The private road is more than worth it and may be used provided that a few conditions are respected (no bicycles, etc.), which really results in a very nice tour.
