The Castle of Ordingen is located in the village of Ordingen, in the city of Sint-Truiden, south of the Belgian province of Limburg, near the well-known river Melsterbeek. The Castle of Ordingen originated in the early Middle Ages as a border guard of the county of Loon. Later this county became part of the prince-bishopric of Liège. Lords of the castle will rule over Ordingen until the beginning of the 17th century. The commanders of the castle and the Teutonic Order. Then the castle is sold to the land commander of the bailiwick Biesen of the Teutonic Order. Ordingen had 25 commanders during two centuries who were represented on site by stewards, especially in the 18th century. Commander Hendrik van Hoensbroeck made himself noticed by the extensive restoration of the castle. From the French Revolution to the 21st century. At the beginning of the 19th century, the wealthy coal baron Charles Pitteurs-Hiégaeerts acquired the estate. When the man died in 1863, his third son Léon, baron for life and mayor of Ordingen, took possession of the estate. He thoroughly renovated the castle in 1879 and built up a large art collection. The next owner, in 1902, was his unmarried son Antoine. A German bombardment in 1940, difficulties with restoration files and family quarrels were the reason for a new sale. Antoine died in 1962, the castle was sold in 1964 to a general practitioner from Tongeren, Henri Beckers. This owner renovated the western corner tower and the gatehouse. Together with his son Gerard, Henri Beckers ran a restaurant and tavern in the Commandeurshuis. A restoration of 21 years instead of 5 years In 1997, Henri Beckers sold the castle to the current owner, the Bemas company with Richard Sleurs as manager. The restoration of the castle took a little longer than planned: namely 21 instead of 5 years. But when lord of the castle Richard Sleurs (73) does something, he certainly doesn't do things halfway. For example, the hotel has 32 suites, designed by the famous decorator Pieter Porters. Chef Gary Kirchens is at the stove of restaurant Aurum, which has been awarded its first Michelin star since May 2022. In addition to the hotel and restaurant, Bistro Richard, a high-level brasserie, will follow. https://kasteelvanordingen.be/geschiedenis

The castle is first mentioned in 1135. Afterwards the castle became dilapidated and it was rebuilt by Hieronymus Van Copis (1635-1653). But the water castle, probably so called because of the ring moat that surrounds the complex, had a turbulent history. In 1636 it was plundered by Croatian troops led by the German Jan, Count von Werth, and in 1637 it was destroyed again, this time by Dutch troops. In 1654, Lorraine troops occupied the castle and in 1728 it burned down completely due to an accident. It was J.B.C. Le Roy, baron van Binderveld, who rebuilt the castle in 1729. We can see this from the date and the coat of arms of Le Roy-Coloba in the facade stone above the door of the living area. It became a semi-closed complex of which the gate tower and the house were preserved. The drawbridge was replaced by a stone bridge in 1865 by the Schrijnmakers family. The chapel had already been replaced in 1842 by the current church of Binderveld. A few years ago it was transformed into Wijnslot Byrleveldt.
