Deutschordenskommende Siersdorf, Teutonic Order commandry in Aldenhoven, Germany.

The Renaissance-style building features four corner towers connected by diagonal passages and a deep moat surrounding its rectangular structure.

Count Wilhelm III donated the church to the Teutonic Order in 1219, establishing a commandry that operated for nearly 600 years.

The structure contains burial chambers in the crypt of St. John the Baptist Church, where Teutonic Knights found their final resting place.

A support association founded in 2001 manages the site and implements preservation measures to prevent further deterioration of the building.

The walls incorporate an internal layer of straw and clay plaster, demonstrating medieval construction techniques.
