Born Castle, Medieval castle in Born, Luxembourg
Born Castle stands along the river with a symmetrical facade, four corner towers, and contains multiple rooms distributed across three main levels.
The original castle from 1286 belonging to the Lords of Born was destroyed in 1705 during an attack by the Duke of Marlborough's forces.
The castle represents the architectural preferences of Luxembourg nobility, incorporating both residential and defensive architectural elements from the 18th century.
Located 8 kilometers north of Wasserbillig, the castle remains in private ownership and requires advance permission for visits through local authorities.
The castle grounds include salt mining sites from the 16th century, when mineral extraction formed a substantial part of the local economy.
