Ansembourg Castle, Medieval castle in Helperknapp, Luxembourg

The stone fortress stands on a rocky outcrop 80 meters above the Eisch stream, offering views across the surrounding valley terrain.

The first records of Ansembourg Castle date back to 1135 when Hubert d'Ansembourg served as the lord of this strategic fortification.

The castle holds a collection of 6000 books, including the Codex Mariendalensis manuscript that contains the story of Yolanda of Vianden.

The castle functions as a private residence for Count and Countess of Ansembourg, making interior visits unavailable to the general public.

The entrance gate features construction markings from 1565, indicating substantial modifications during the Renaissance period of Luxembourg.
