[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
De Landcommanderij Alden Biesen in Bilzen werd gebouwd door de Duitse ridderorde. Nu is dit kasteelcomplex een cultuurcentrum van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap. Op 8 maart 1971 viel de waterburcht ten gevolge van een schoorsteenbrand ten prooi aan de vlammen. De Belgische staat handhaafde op 5 juli van dat jaar toch haar principebesluit om Alden Biesen aan te kopen.

This picture is merged from several. I think three or four. I made a mistake with the exposure in one of these fotos. Perhaps you can notice where.
