Château de Preisch

The Château de Preisch is a castle from the early 17th century in Basse-Rentgen with four perimeter towers and moats forming a fortified structure. The estate also includes an English-style park and a permaculture garden spread across a large property.

Albert de Pris built the original castle in 1122, after which the property passed through several noble families over the centuries. The lines of Preisch, Ottange, Gerard de Gulch, and Merode each left their mark on this place.

The castle houses a collection of furniture, paintings, and objects gathered in the 19th century by Charles Joseph de Gargan. These pieces show what mattered to people in the region during that era.

The castle welcomes visitors year-round with guided tours through the building and grounds. Wear comfortable shoes as the estate is large and much of it is explored on foot.

A seven-kilometer wall built during the Napoleonic era encircles the park and extends toward the French-Luxembourg border. This defensive barrier is a rare surviving example of military construction from that period.
