The largest castle ruin in Luxembourg, on a high rocky spur above a bend of the Sûre River, with medieval walls, towers and a residence that has been restored. Climb the keep for views over the Ardennes forests.


Luxembourg has many castles in the Ardennes, such as Clervaux, home of 'The Family of Man' photography exhibition, and Esch-sur-Sûre, a village in a loop of the river below a ruined castle.
