Schengen Castle
Schengen Castle is a manor-house style castle in the village of Schengen in south‑east Luxembourg, incorporating a medieval round tower. The original 14th‑century fortress was largely demolished in 1812 and replaced by a 19th‑century residential manor; the round tower remained. In the 20th and early 21st centuries it has been used by religious orders and as a hotel and conference centre.

As it stood in 1871
What Schengen Castle looked like in its prime.
A three‑storey rectangular manor with a steep slate mansard roof, central triangular pediment and decorative iron roof cresting, faced in pale grey‑beige stone with regular tall rectangular windows set in golden stone surrounds. To the left a large cylindrical medieval tower rises with a tall conical slate roof and ivy climbing its rough rendered walls. Formal parterre gardens and gravel drives lie in front, with mature deciduous and evergreen trees framing the building.
Its story
The story of Schengen Castle.
Schengen Castle dates from 1390, but the original fortress was largely demolished in 1812 and the castle almost completely rebuilt in the nineteenth century as a residential manor, keeping the medieval round tower. It stands in the village of Schengen in Luxembourg's south-east, close against the borders with France and Germany.
From 1939 the castle was occupied by the congregation of Saint Elizabeth; in April 2010 it opened as a hotel and conference centre, with meeting facilities for up to 100 participants in the castle and its surrounding buildings. In 2016 the company Regus bought it, and it has stood unoccupied since.
