Nieuwen Biesen, Religious commandry in Boschstraatkwartier, Netherlands
The Nieuwen Biesen commandry included multiple buildings forming an administrative center for the Teutonic Order in Maastricht.
Established around 1400, the complex underwent major reconstructions in 1586 and 1748 before its final dissolution by French authorities in 1795.
The commandry served as a regional headquarters for the Teutonic Knights, maintaining archives and hosting diplomatic meetings between the Northern and Southern Netherlands.
The former commandry grounds now contain the Sappi paper factory, with street names Biesenwal and Commandeurslaan preserving its memory.
In 1632, the commandry hosted diplomatic negotiations where the artist Peter Paul Rubens participated as a representative.
