Castle Bourscheid

Hotels near Castle Bourscheid, Vianden, Luxembourg .

Bourscheid Castle is situated on a remote promontory, accessible only from the north-west, 150 meters above the level of the river Sûre. It is situated near the village of the same name, north of the town of Ettelbruck in Luxembourg.
Bourscheid Castle dates back to the 10th century; it was a wooden structure that was replaced by a stone construction to enhance its defensive capabilities. Bourscheid Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1095. At first the little square near the keep, the chapel and the palace with the great hall were surrounded by a circular wall with at least 4 towers. Work on the outer circular wall with 8 towers started shortly after the year 1350. The castle was completed in 1384.
The castle was abandoned at the beginning of the 19th century and fell into ruin. In 1972 the ruins of Bourscheid Castle, which had been declared a national monument in 1936, were bought by the Luxembourg State and opened to the public. Since then parts of the castle were restored.
At present the Stolzemburger House is used for cultural activities and there is a museum at the gatekeeper's house. The small museum traces the history of Bourscheid Castle and the Lords of Bourscheid.
