Die Geschichte des Malteserhauses in Alken an der Mosel ist nicht abschließend geklärt, wahrscheinlich ist es nach dem Orden der Malteser benannt. Geschichtlich wird das Gebäude immer wieder als Hospital bzw. Armenhaus bezeichnet. Solche Einrichtungen wurden u. a. vom Malteserorden gegründet.

Thuran(d)t Castle, located above the wine-growing village of Alken on the Moselle (Mayen-Koblenz district, Rhineland-Palatinate), is thought to have been built around 1200. From the middle of the 13th century, the archbishoprics of Cologne and Trier were joint owners of the castle. Its two parts were separated by a wall, and each part had its own keep.
Today, the castle is owned by an industrialist family from Friesland.
