Walferdange Castle, Royal castle in Helmsange, Luxembourg
The rectangular three-story castle stands in the Alzette valley with thick stone walls and classic architectural elements from the early 19th century.
William I of Orange initiated the construction in 1817 as a stud farm, but the Belgian Revolution of 1830 halted the project for a decade.
Prince Henry and Princess Amalia established a tradition of distributing Christmas presents to local children, which continued for over twenty years.
The Ministry of National Education, Childhood and Youth currently operates several administrative departments within the castle premises since 2015.
The castle transformed from a royal residence into an educational institution, hosting the Normal Teachers' School and later the University of Luxembourg.
