Commanderij van Gruitrode

The Commandery of Gruitrode includes a castle and farm complex surrounded by moats fed by the Itterbeek river in northern Limburg.

Established in 1568 as part of the Teutonic Order's Alden Biesen bailiwick, the commandery served as a strategic stopping point toward the Lordship of Gemert.

The commandery developed into a regional trading center where coins were minted, contributing to the economic growth of the Gruitrode area.

The site offers guided tours through its preserved rooms, allowing visitors to understand the building's function during its operational period as a religious-military outpost.

The property features two distinct islands connected by passages, each maintaining separate characteristics while forming the complete commandery complex.
