Bourscheid Castle
Château de Bourscheid
A large medieval castle ruin above the Sauer Valley, with a tower for views over the gorge and evening lighting.
The castle was founded around the year 1000 and is one of the largest castle ruins in Luxembourg. Its surviving walls, towers and keep stand on a ridge about 150 meters above the river valley. From the tower you can look down on the winding Sauer River gorge. On-site audio guides explain daily life in the castle. It is open about 10:00–18:00 (shorter hours in winter), and admission is about 7 euros. It suits drivers and can be combined with Vianden and Upper Sure Lake for a castle tour of the Ardennes.
