The Landcommandery Alden Biesen was built by the German Order (Teutonic knights). Nowadays this castle is a cultural centre of the Flemish Community. Alden Biesen did not only set up historical and European activities but the Landcommandery is also a congress centre and a cultural and tourist attraction. In this way we want to contribute to the exchange of ideas and the development of broad minded people.Lies Kerkhofs, director Alden Biesen.
