Aspelt Castle, Medieval castle in Frisange, Luxembourg.
Aspelt Castle is a medieval fortress in Frisange featuring round Gothic towers and a Baroque residential wing positioned in the town center. The building combines defensive medieval features with later added residential spaces.
The castle was built before 1100 as a fortified structure with a moat and received its first written mention in the Echternach chronicles of 1132. In the 18th century, Baroque windows were added, transforming it into a residential space.
The castle displays architectural layers from different periods that are visible on its walls. The Gothic elements and later Baroque additions tell the story of various inhabitants who shaped the building over time.
The castle is centrally located in Frisange and easily accessible from the town center. Visitors should note that the building has undergone extensive restoration work to address structural preservation.
The castle may have a connection to Peter of Aspelt, a 13th-century archbishop of Mainz, whose name may still echo in the local street name today. This historical link makes the building an interesting point for tracing medieval family connections in the region.
