  • The Chapel is the most interesting room in the castle, a double oratory, consisting of two separate floors, which separated the commoners from the nobles during religious ceremonies, the Count sat even higher up in a small balcony. I remember seeing a similar division of wealth at Sainte Chappelle in Paris although the difference in decor was much more pronounced.

    Things To Do: Vianden Castle

  • The main draw to the town of Vianden is the Chateau de Vianden (Vianden Castle), constructed during the 11th-14th centuries. Like all good castles, it's built up on the side of a hill, important for the defense of the castle.

    In 1820, under the reign of King William I of Holland, the castle was sold off piece by piece and fell into a state of ruin. In 1977, the family of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg transferred it to State ownership and restoration began.

     Vianden is well worth a side trip from Luxembourg, especially on sunny days. We quite enjoyed it there.
