The landscape in the east of the Voer region already shows the characteristics of the Land of Herve: the farms are scattered amidst the meadows, hawthorn hedges and fruit trees. In addition to the neo-Gothic Sint-Heribertus church from 1897, the remains and the farm of the castle 'Het Hoes' can still be seen. A few kilometers outside the village, next to the railway line, is the much better preserved castle of Obsinnich, dating from the 17th century. It is now used as a holiday residence for youth groups.
On the way to Sippenaken - where you can admire the beautiful castle of Beusdaal - you pass a curious monument on the municipal border. It was erected in memory of the victims of the electric wire that separated Belgium and the Netherlands during the First World War.

Until the abolition of the duchy of Limburg at the end of the 18th century, Remersdaal belonged to the Limburg high bank of Montzen. Like the rest of the Duchy, Remersdaal was incorporated into the Ourthe department when the French Republic annexed the Southern Netherlands in 1795. After the French era, this became the Dutch, from 1830 Belgian, province of Liège. The Mill of Obsinnich used to be located at the Castle of Obsinnich.
