Approximately 30 miles north of Luxembourg City is a castle built originally as a military fort by Romans. It later evolved into a fortress in the Romanesque style. Over the last 10 centuries since construction began, Gothic and Renaissance aspects were added.
Although many people mistakenly assume that Luxembourg is a part of Germany, it’s a 999-square-mile country surrounded by Germany, France, and Belgium. More than 100 castles exist in the Luxembourg, with Vianden Castle among one of its largest. Dwarfing homes built beneath its shadow, the castle is situated high atop the Vianden’s rocky cliff, affording panoramic views of the vast landscape, as well as roads leading into town.
