코젠 영주들의 성은 코젠, 비여르, 스테보르트 세 지자체가 만나는 곳에 위치해 있습니다. 엄밀히 말하면 성은 비여르 영토에, 농가는 코젠에, 헛간은 스테보르트에 있습니다. 과거에는 도로가 성지와 이 세 마을을 연결했습니다. 가장 오래된 코젠 영주들은 14세기에 살았던 반 베스마엘 가문입니다. 약 1400년경에는 디에스트 가문이 영지와 성을 소유했으며, 17세기에는 데 케르크헴 가문이 이곳을 다스렸습니다. 문 중 하나 위에는 가문의 문장이 두 번 새겨진 돌이 있습니다. 이 돌은 아놀드 데 케르크헴과 그의 사촌이기도 했던 그의 아내 안네마리 데 케르크헴이 살았던 시대를 나타냅니다. 17세기에는 성이 한동안 알덴 비센의 사령관에게 속해 있었습니다. 1699년부터 반 아페르던 가문이 이 영지를 인수했습니다. 그들이 마지막 코젠 영주입니다. 19세기 말에는 자켈라르라는 인물이 성을 소유했습니다. 그는 성을 개조하여 현재의 모습을 갖추게 했습니다.

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.

beautiful castle in Brustem

Former moated castle. Originally a castle of the Lords of Ordingen; played an important role due to its strategic location on the border of the County of Loon, the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and the Duchy of Limburg; destroyed during the Battle of Brustem (1467), but rebuilt by W. de Horion during the 16th century. Purchased in 1611 by the Land Commandery Alden Biesen, and converted into a Commandery of the Teutonic Order in 1633; the castle remained in that form until the beginning of the 19th century, when P. de Libotton, who had bought the property after its expropriation during the French occupation, replaced the residence of the order's brothers and the chapel with a castle in late-classicist style; this castle was replaced in the second half of the 19th century by the current neo-Renaissance castle, built by order of H. de Pitteurs Hiegaerts. In its current form a moated complex, on the northern bank of the Melsterbeek, and accessible via a wide avenue; the park was divided into plots and cleared in the course of the sixties. The following parts of the 17th-century commandery have been preserved: the gatehouse with guardhouse, a corner tower, and the commander's house. To the southeast, gatehouse with guardhouse: elongated building of eight bays and two storeys under a slightly curved saddle roof (slate) with dormers, and leaning against the northeast facade, a square tower of one bay and three storeys under a hipped roof (weather vanes, and stepped dormer window on the northeast side); the year 1633 on a facade stone with the coat of arms of commander van Amstenraedt. To the north, commander's house: L-shaped building of two storeys under saddle roofs (slate) with dormers. Brick building with wrought iron wall anchors and the use of limestone for corner bands and frames. Stepped southwestern side wall with a round arched window in the top provided with neg blocks, and later built-in facade stone with the date 1740 and coat of arms of the Teutonic Order. The southwestern wing, probably the stable section, is soberly finished: rectangular wall openings (with loading window on the second floor). Now freestanding, western corner tower: square tower of one bay and three floors under a broken tent roof. To the northeast, neo-Renaissance castle from the second half of the 19th century, almost completely rebuilt after the bombing in 1940.
