ABOUT US

Alden Biesen. Where Epic Stories Begin.

At the gateway to Haspengouw lies Alden Biesen: an imposing castle domain that has brought people together for over 800 years. Here, you're not simply entering a domain; you're entering a place where past and future intersect.

 

What was once a mighty headquarters for the Teutonic Order is today a vibrant domain where culture and heritage come to life. A place where culture inspires and connects. A place where heritage is not a backdrop, but part of the story.

 

Whether you come to discover, listen, learn, experience, or connect: at Alden Biesen, every visit begins with wonder. And ends with a new story that lingers.
