Het beste van Bilzen

Bilzen Essentials

Bilzen’s architectural landscape is defined by the Grand Commandery of Alden Biesen, a sprawling 16th-century castle complex and former headquarters of the Teutonic Order. The city features the archaeological remains of the 7th-century Munsterbilzen Abbey and the unfinished medieval fortress of Jonckholt. Visitors can explore the historic center's Sint-Mauritiuskerk, the overshot Zangerheimolen watermill in Eigenbilzen, and the 19th-century Edelhof manor. This collection highlights the region's transition from medieval monastic power to elegant estate living across the lush Demer valley.
