Differdange Castle, Renaissance château in Differdange, Luxembourg
The castle occupies a hilltop position in central Differdange with three structures arranged around a 15-by-15-meter square courtyard with octagonal towers.
Initially constructed in 1577 on the site of an earlier fortified structure from 1310, the castle belonged to Wilhelm, who served as the first documented lord.
The architecture incorporates Renaissance design elements, including symmetrical squares, rectangular cross-framed windows, and balanced horizontal and vertical proportions throughout the structure.
The castle functions as Miami University Dolibois European Center, providing educational facilities for international students in the heart of Luxembourg.
After a fire destroyed Soleuvre Castle in 1552, Anna von Insenburg decided to build this new Renaissance residence to govern both Soleuvre and Differdange territories.
