Castles and Heritage Sites
Luxembourg's landscape is defined by its medieval fortifications and aristocratic residences. This collection spans from the UNESCO-listed Old Quarters and subterranean Casemates Bock in the capital to the sprawling 11th-century Vianden Castle in the north. The list includes the 12th-century ruins of Esch-sur-Sûre and Brandenbourg, the Baroque Aspelt Castle, and the 19th-century Walferdange Castle. Many sites, like Schoenfels, form part of the Valley of the Seven Castles, showcasing architectural evolution from Romanesque and Gothic defenses to Renaissance palaces.
