Ever wanted to escape to a great medieval castle. The country of Luxembourg in Central Europe is home to many of them, and almost all are open to the public. The following are just a few, out of many, worth seeing.
Castle Bourglinster - On Rue Du Chateau 8 (that’s Castle St in French) in Bourglinster, you can view this majestic medieval edifice constructed in the early 12th century. Easily accessible from Luxembourg city via a 15 min car drive, the castle is open for viewing on Wednesdays.
Castle La Rochette -Currently under-reconstruction after being destroyed by a fire in the late 1500s, the only structure reassembled at this time is the Créhange House which houses a deep stone well. It’s projected that construction on the 11th century fortress will continue, but it will never fully return to it’s former glory.
Vianden Castle -Originally the home of the Counts of Vianden, it was later transfered to the House of Nassau, and eventually into the hands of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg before being given to the State in 1977. Constructed in the 11th to 12th centuries, it was fully renovated and is open from 10am to 4pm on most days.
