Vianden Castle
Vianden Castle is a large fortified castle in northern Luxembourg built on a rocky promontory above the River Our. Its core developed from the 11th to the 14th centuries in Romanesque form with Gothic adaptations, and it served as the seat of the Counts of Vianden until the early 15th century. The site was later restored in the 20th century and is open to visitors today.

As it stood in 1400
The shape it held in its prime.
Set on a rocky promontory and stretching roughly 90 metres, the castle presents a long sequence of pale stone curtain walls and connected buildings. A tall multi-storey palace block with steep slate gabled roofs and dormer windows dominates the centre, with an arcaded gallery of trefoiled openings on its face. To the left rises a cylindrical white tower capped by a conical roof. A lower, long outer ward with rectangular embrasures runs to the right, all surrounded by wooded slopes falling to the river.
