1274: Heers Castle is first mentioned in a historical document. A century later, it is plundered and burned by the troops of Charles the Bold. The current castle is a result of reconstruction and dates from around 1500. The following centuries continued to be ravaged by war: the Dutch, French, and Germans all made their appearances. The De Rivière family, who had owned the castle since the 14th century, was declared bankrupt in 1757. From 1859 onward, the castle came into the possession of the Desmaisières family, who lived and enjoyed it lavishly... until the costs became too high. In the 21st century, the castle fell into complete disrepair due to conflict and lack of funds. Local volunteers launched a rescue initiative. Today, many partners are working on a new future for this impressive place steeped in history.

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

Kerkom Castle (also: Alstergoed) is a castle at Kerkstraat 6 in Kerkom-bij-Sint-Truiden. This castle was the seat of the Lords of Kerkom. The name Alstergoed, therefore, comes from the Van Alsteren family, who were Lords of Kerkom from the late 14th century until 1675. The Van Schoor family, owners from 1707 to 1774, had a classical castle built. In 1889, the then owner, Baron F. de Moffart, built a new castle in the eclectic style just northwest of that castle. The classical castle was largely demolished. Only the northeast wing and the eastern corner towers remained. These were the servants' quarters and the carriage house. The two buildings are situated in a park. There is a terraced garden and, on each of the two corners, an octagonal garden pavilion dating from 1760.

The castle was built in 1170 by Count Louis I of Loon, at that time still directed against the city of Sint-Truiden, which was initially under the influence of the Prince-Bishopric of Metz, which in turn was allied to the Holy Roman Empire. In 1178 the castle was taken by Sint-Truiden and partially destroyed. Although the castle was restored, it was destroyed again in 1347 by Sint-Truiden, which resisted Prince-Bishop Engelbert van der Mark of Liège. Also in 1467 (Battle of Brustem) and in 1489 in the battle between the Van der Mark family and Prince-Bishop Johan van Horne. In that year the castle was finally destroyed. The keep was used for a while as a dovecote, and then further destroyed by the troops of Louis XIV (1672) and then used for a while as a quarry. In 1956 the remains were classified as a monument, and the surroundings as a landscape. The ruins are currently maintained by the association "De Burchtwacht".

Originally, there was a Romanesque castle chapel from 1171 here. The west tower dates from 1649 and still contains remains of the Romanesque substructure. The two western bays of this brick hall church were built in 1769 in a classicist style. The two eastern bays and the choir date from 1850. In 1938, sacristies were built both north and south of the church, and in 1937 side chapels were also built. In 1965, the church was largely destroyed, with the loss of a large part of the inventory. However, the building was restored immediately after the fire. The interior was renovated, including murals by R. van de Eycken. Of the works of art, a wooden Our Lady with Child from the 16th century and a wooden Crucifix from the 18th century remain. The church is dedicated to Saint Lawrence.
