City Summary
Bilzen, a charming town in Belgium's Liège Province, is renowned for its medieval architecture, tranquil countryside, and rich cultural heritage.

Top attractions include the hauntingly beautiful Landenrode Abbey ruins, a 12th-century Cistercian monastery. The Gothic Sint-Mauritiuskerk church houses valuable religious artworks. While Kasteel van Bilzen is privately owned, its exterior is worth admiring. Don't miss Belgium's oldest open-air music festivals during summer.
