Larochette Castle is located above the village that bears the same name, east of the town of Mersch in Luxembourg. It is also locally known as Château de Larochette or Burg Fels. The Castle is built on a rocky promontory, 150 meters above the White Ernz stream, a tributary of the Sûre River.
Larochette Castle consists of a main castle on the end of the promontory, separated from a large bailey by a natural dry moat. In 1255 Larochette Castle was bought by Arnold III von Fels who took part in the crusade against Tunis with Saint Louis in 1270; (the French King Louis IX).
Towards the end of the 14th century Larochette Castle had become a “Ganerbenburg” (owned and lived in by many noble families). In 1565 the castle was destroyed by fire and fell to ruin. IN 1979 the ruins of Larochette Castle was acquired by the State of Luxembourg. The ruin of the Criechinger House was rebuilt between 1983 and 1987 and now houses a small museum.
