Castle of Ordingen, located in Sint-Truiden's Ordingen district in Belgium's Limburg province, traces its origins to the 12th century and has been destroyed, rebuilt, and transformed repeatedly throughout the centuries. Sources document the lords of Ordinge from 1040 onward, establishing the family's early medieval prominence. The castle estate was once held by the Teutonic Order before falling into decline, only to be restored over twenty-one years under owner Richard Sleurs with interiors highlighting period details. Today the castle operates as a luxury five-star hotel and restaurant, featuring Restaurant Aurum with contemporary cuisine and Bistro Richard serving regional classics, complemented by a spa center.
