Schoenfels Castle, Medieval castle in Mersch, Luxembourg.
The stone castle stands with its central tower above the Mamer Valley, featuring a preserved entrance decorated with the Schloeder von Lachen coat of arms.
Friedrich of Schonevels constructed the initial fortified structure in 1292, which later passed through ownership of the Ansembourg and Sassenheim noble families.
The castle represents Luxembourg's medieval architectural heritage as part of the Valley of the Seven Castles, connecting multiple historical fortifications in the region.
The castle remains closed during ongoing renovations aimed at establishing a visitor center and a Water and Forestry Administration Museum within its walls.
French troops removed the castle's defensive structures in 1683, transforming it from a military stronghold into a residential property.
