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.

The capital of the former Duchy of Limburg was considered an impregnable fortress. The former stronghold of Limburg occupies a strategic location on the banks of the Vesdre, between the ramparts of Herve and the Ardennes massif. Limburg's architectural legacy, which towers above everything from a steep rock, has been included in its entirety in the list of Wallonia's exceptional heritage. In addition to the site, many private monuments have also been protected since 1980.

The fact that Belgium and the Netherlands both have a province of Limburg is "thanks" to this former fortified city on the Vesder in the current province of Liège known as Limbourg, with its beautiful centre and once the capital of a duchy, also called Limburg. Or rather: we actually "thank" it to King William I who decided in 1815 that the current provinces of Limburg, which in Belgium largely overlap with the former county of Loon, would be given the name of this former duchy. And that despite the fact that there was virtually no overlap between the territory of Limburg that had long belonged to the former States-General of the Netherlands and the current provinces. But William I did not want the name of that duchy in the land of Herve to be lost and got his way. Today, the former capital of the former Duchy of Limburg is, after a turbulent history, a beautiful village with a fascinating historical centre in the wonderful land of Herve and more than worth a visit, even though the character of a fortified town has somewhat disappeared over time. And the province of Limburg in Belgium? Historically, it would have been much better called the province of Loon or, it is blasphemy, one with the province of Liège, whereby the current Limburg had little to do with Flanders and, together with Liège, was always much closer to Germany. Only many do not like to hear that historical reality.
