Urspelt Castle, National monument and hotel in Urspelt, Luxembourg
Urspelt Castle is a 19th-century château now operating as a four-star hotel with 57 rooms and suites. The building houses a French restaurant, meeting spaces, and a wellness center with treatment rooms.
The structure was built in the 1860s and became part of the valley's character. During World War II it served as German military headquarters before American forces took control in 1944.
The castle takes its name from the nearby village and represents the medieval authority that once governed this region. Visitors today can understand the connection between the grand structure and its protected status as a national monument.
The property is well connected to hiking trails and sits in a quiet setting at the edge of Clervaux. Visitors should plan for a drive through narrow, winding country roads to reach the location.
Renovation work in 2005 uncovered a well from the 11th century that came from an older fortress once standing on this site. The discovery reveals that the current castle was built on the foundations of a medieval fortification.
