The small church overlooks the Commandery.

The Brigida Church is situated on a bend in the main road to Mheer. Opposite the east side lies the village square, and to the left is a road leading to the Voerstreek region. The church is situated on a hill, supported by a marlstone retaining wall. A cemetery surrounds the church, and in front of it on the east side is the Brigida Chapel, dedicated to devotion to this saint. The church is a three-aisled basilica, begun in Romanesque style but rebuilt in phases in Gothic style. It is one of the few village churches in South Limburg that has preserved some of its medieval atmosphere and its main features from the 15th century. According to the parish archives, the St. Brigida Church was a branch church of the parish church in 's Gravenvoeren (Belgium) until 1614. This church, which in turn was a separation from the church of St. Martin's Voeren, was donated to the Our Lady Minster of Luxembourg City in 1083 by Conrad I of Luxembourg, lord of the land of Daehlem. Originally, the parish also included Mheer, which separated in 1626. From 1616 until the order's dissolution in 1773, the Jesuits of Maastricht held the right of collation of the church and the right of tithing, which they had inherited from the Our Lady Minster in Luxembourg. It is known that the church was plundered by soldiers of William of Orange in 1568. Source: The Dutch Monuments of History and Art. The Province of Limburg / South Limburg.

A 20th-century cross, located just before/after the well-known St. Anne's Chapel at a crossroads. The cross is cataloged by the municipality of Aubel, but without any specifications other than "20th century." The chapel has its own unique highlight.

The Chapelle Sainte-Anne in Aubel is a historic field chapel dating from 1658, located on Eyckerweg northwest of the village center. Dedicated to Saint Anne, the chapel was rebuilt in the early 19th century using brick on a sandstone base, retaining the original 17th-century limestone facade. Inside, there is a wooden altar with a statue of Saint Anne holding a bunch of grapes, a symbol of fertility, and a polychrome statue of the Virgin Mary from the same period.

A truly beautiful cycling route with quite a few kilometers of climbing. Beautiful vistas, picturesque villages, lovely farms, and castles.
