Koerich Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Koerich, Luxembourg

The castle features an 11-meter tall keep with walls measuring 3.5 meters thick, surrounded by remnants of a 15-meter wide moat in the Goeblange stream valley.

Wirich I, Lord of Koerich and Seneschal of Luxembourg, constructed the castle at the end of the 12th century in late Romanesque style with Gothic additions in 1304.

The south-western tower contains a ground floor chapel, reflecting the religious architectural elements integrated into medieval Luxembourg fortifications.

The castle ruins stand near the Baroque church in central Koerich, with restoration work ongoing to add visitor facilities including pathways and seating areas.

The fortress transformation in 1380 by Gilles of Autel included two 12-meter towers at the south wall ends, marking a shift from military to residential architecture.
