Boorsem initially belonged to the Carolingian domain of Stein-Elsloo. It was a free lordship. The oldest known Lords belonged to the Van Altena family. At the beginning of the 14th century, Boorsem was annexed to the estate of Rekem. In 1623 Boorsem was elevated to the status of a barony, which depended on Rekem.
