워터 캐슬은 밀렌 또는 밀리나 영지의 중심지였으며, 이는 룬 백작령의 봉신이었습니다. 1143년에 처음 언급되었습니다. 가장 오래된 영주는 루이 2세 폰 룬의 집사였던 발터 폰 밀렌(Walterus de Milne)이었습니다. 이 영지는 순차적으로 멜린, 프로에스트(1369), 기고벤(1456), 베를로즈(1479), 호템(1531), 플레롱(1625), 헴리쿠르트(1741) 가문의 소유가 되었습니다. 성은 1365년에 처음 언급되었습니다. 원래의 성은 14세기에 워터 캐슬로 개조되었습니다. 당시에는 정사각형 워터 캐슬로 확장된 오래된 돈주앙, 성문탑, 두 개의 측면 탑으로 구성되어 있었습니다. 17세기 전반에 폐허가 된 성은 성으로 개조되었습니다. 군사적 의미가 없는 편안한 귀족의 집이 되었습니다. 18세기부터 성은 더 이상 영구적으로 거주되지 않고 황폐해졌습니다. 1811년에 블리시아 남작이 성을 구입한 후, 돈주앙과 남서쪽 탑을 포함한 상당 부분이 철거되었습니다. 동쪽과 서쪽 날개만 남아 농장으로 사용되었습니다. 1972년에 성의 유적은 시에서 구입하여 복원했습니다. 석회암으로 된 14세기 왼쪽 탑에는 고딕식 아치형 천장이 있습니다. 이 탑은 12세기까지 거슬러 올라갈 수 있는 동쪽 날개의 일부입니다. 현재 성에는 16세기와 17세기 귀족의 삶을 보여주는 박물관이 있습니다. 또한 주변 지역의 자전거 도로망의 중심지이며, 유로지역의 요새화된 과거를 주제로 합니다. 건물에는 관광객을 위한 식당도 있으며 워터 캐슬은 무료로 입장할 수 있습니다.

The Castle of Rooi is situated just outside the hamlet of Mulken in the territory of Neerrepen. The castle is a castle farm and consists of a U-shaped main building surrounded by a pond and a square farmstead. The place name Rooi was first mentioned in 1287. In the 14th century, the castle was owned by Libert Butoir, hereditary guardian of Horion.

Groenendaal Castle is a historic country house and heritage site in Waltwilder (municipality of Bilzen-Hoeselt), Limburg, Belgium. It is part of a protected cultural-historical landscape and a striking example of classical residential heritage in the Flemish landscape. The castle has a long history and was built on a site originally known as Croenendael or Croonendael, a name later incorrectly spelled Groenendaal. The estate's origins date back to the 17th century, and in the Middle Ages it was part of a large fief of the Lords of Jonckholt. The current building is U-shaped and partially moated, with the oldest core dating from the mid-17th century. Later, in 1761, the classical main building was renovated and given its current classical form, with features of the Meuse style (typical of Limburg castles) visible in the facade ornaments, wall anchors, and brickwork details. In addition to the castle, the estate also includes a castle farm from the same period, originally a farmhouse and service building that was later adapted and expanded. Both the castle and the farm are situated in a landscaped setting with ponds and parks that together contribute to the estate's heritage value. The estate now called Groenendaal was originally known as Croenendael and belonged to noble family lines that governed the region for centuries. Around 1757, the property became the property of the de Grady family, who extensively modified the old 17th-century castle to its classicist form. Later owners, such as Baron Emile de Rosen de Borgharen in the 19th century, contributed to the maintenance and management of the estate. Although the interior is generally privately owned and not open to the public, the building's exterior remains well-preserved and recognizable as a representative example of 18th-century country house architecture in Limburg. Groenendaal Castle is situated in a peaceful rural setting of meadows and water features, between cycling junctions, making it an attractive stop for cyclists and hikers in the region. Its location between cycling junctions 67 and 504 makes it an ideal spot for a picnic or a short break, and there are hiking trails and cycling routes leading to the castle from the surrounding area. Although the castle's interior isn't normally accessible, the exterior offers a beautiful example of Limburg's classical heritage and makes an interesting stop on a tour through the countryside and countryside around Bilzen and Hoeselt.

The Alden-Biesen gazebo is a charming and historic horticultural feature that forms part of the rich heritage surrounding the Alden Biesen Commandery and the impressive castle grounds in Bilzen, Limburg. This historical garden feature dates from 1749 and is part of the estate's 18th-century rococo architecture. Originally, the gazebo was built as part of the rectory garden on land owned by the Grand Commander of Alden Biesen. Today, the gazebo, which initially functioned as a small chapel, stands in a visible and accessible location on Demerlaan after being moved from its original context and rebuilt in 1991. The gazebo has an octagonal shape with a mansard roof and a small spire, typical characteristics of 18th-century garden pavilions. It served not only as a decorative element in the garden but also as a quiet spot and a sheltered spot in the garden where one could enjoy the surroundings. Since November 16, 2022, the garden gazebo has been officially protected as a listed monument for its historical aesthetic and architectural value. This protection emphasizes the importance of this small but valuable heritage piece within the broader context of Alden-Biesen and the cultural history of the region. Today, when you stroll through the grounds or the surrounding area of Alden-Biesen, for example, through the gardens of the English Park or along the walking trails around the castle, the garden gazebo forms an atmospheric, decorative respite that invites you to reflect on the long history of garden and landscape architecture in this region. It demonstrates how carefully landscaped gardens and pavilions were once an integral part of life around a Commandery: as a place for reflection, views, and togetherness in a green setting.
