Brandenbourg Castle, Luxembourg’s beautiful ruins

Brandenbourg Castle ruins

There are beautiful ruins of this castle above the town of the same name in the north-east of Luxembourg.  The castle was built in the 10th century and went to ruin by the 18th century.  A surprising amount of the structure remains and the underground cellars can be explored by flashlight.

Medieval Castles dominate Luxembourg

It is built on top of a hill, as most Medieval castles were.  The castle walls are still mostly intact as well as a tower which is 4 stories high.  It was formerly lived in by the Counts of Brandenbourg who are buried in the town church yard.
