Stadtbredimus Castle

Stadtbredimus Castle stands on the banks of the Moselle River as a 15th-century stone fortress featuring traditional medieval architecture with thick walls and a commanding position overlooking the surrounding vineyard landscape.

Originally built in the 13th century as a fortified stronghold, the castle was reconstructed in 1724 and later housed notable figures including the poet Edmond de la Fontaine and brothers of King Louis XVI in 1792.

The castle served as the residence of Luxembourg poet Edmond de la Fontaine known as Dicks from 1858 to 1881, contributing significantly to the country's literary heritage and cultural identity.

Located at 12 Route du Vin, the castle currently serves as headquarters for Domaines Vinsmoselle wine cooperative and can be reached via local roads with exterior viewing available to visitors.

The castle uniquely combines its role as a protected national monument with modern wine production operations, housing Luxembourg's largest wine cooperative that manages over 800 hectares of vineyards.
