Description
Heers is a town in the beautiful province of Limburg in Belgium. The village is best known for its thirteenth-century castle. Heers and the castle were destroyed by the troops of Karel de Stoute in 1467. A farmhouse from Heers was transferred to Bokrijk and rebuilt there as an entrance to the open-air museum. Borgloon is a village near Heers. The name Loon comes from the Germanic Lauhun, meaning wooded hill. Borg comes from the word burgt and with that the village refers to its origin.
Traditionally there was a castle on a wooded hill. The village is first mentioned in 1078. Around 1200 a second wall was built around the castle. In the course of the thirteenth century, Loon lost almost all its financial significance as a coin workshop to Hasselt. Even the title as the county's capital was transferred to Hasselt. Borgloon is currently known as the care center of the region.
