Meysembourg Castle, Renaissance Revival castle in Larochette, Luxembourg

The castle stands on elevated ground surrounded by dense forest, featuring characteristic elements of Neo-Renaissance architecture with symmetrical wings and ornate details.

Originally constructed in the 12th century, the current structure dates from 1880 when Prince von Arenberg commissioned architect Charles Arendt to rebuild it.

The Lords of Meysembourg maintained strong connections with Luxembourg dynasties, including a notable relationship between a castle lady and Countess Ermesinde.

The castle remains private property without public access, but visitors can observe its exterior while walking along the L2 hiking trail.

The castle grounds hosted the European Hot Air Balloon Championship in August 2000, transforming the medieval site into a modern sporting venue.
