Commanderij van Pitzemburg, Medieval commandry in Mechelen, Belgium
The Commandery of Pitzemburg features a residential wing and a northeastern service wing, constructed during the second quarter of the 18th century.
The Teutonic Order founded this commandery around 1200, following a land donation from the Berthout family near the Fontein Bridge in 1220.
The building complex includes an eight-hectare garden that transformed into an English landscape garden during the 19th century for the Royal Horticultural Society.
The commandery now houses the Busleyden Athenaeum Campus Pitzemburg, continuing its educational function that started in 1832.
Archaeological excavations revealed 16th-century cellar vaults during construction work for a new wing of the athenaeum.
