Wiltz, Municipal administrative center in northwestern Luxembourg.

The municipality of Wiltz extends along the banks of the Wiltz River at an elevation of 477 meters in Luxembourg's northern region.

Wiltz received its official town status in 1240, and its castle, completed in 1727, served as a private girls school from 1851 to 1950.

The Festival of Wiltz presents music and performing arts each summer, while the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima draws pilgrims on Ascension Day.

Wiltz functions as a primary administrative hub within Luxembourg's current system of 12 cantons, providing essential services to surrounding communities.

During World War II, American soldier Richard Brookins initiated a Saint Nicholas celebration that continues as an annual tradition in Wiltz.
