Clervaux Castle, Medieval castle in Clervaux, Luxembourg.
The castle rises on a rocky promontory at 365 meters elevation, with three sides bordered by the River Clerve in northern Luxembourg.
Count Gerhard von Sponheim initiated the construction of the castle's west wing in the 12th century, marking the beginning of this fortified structure.
The castle hosts 'The Family of Man' photography exhibition, recognized by UNESCO, alongside a museum displaying models of Luxembourg's castles.
The castle includes administrative offices, multiple exhibition spaces, and guided tours available through the tourist center in Clervaux town.
After complete destruction during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, the Luxembourg government restored the castle to its medieval appearance.
