Pettingen Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Mersch, Luxembourg
The castle features four round corner towers and a square keep in the center, surrounded by a wide moat fed by the Weillerbach stream.
The fortress, known as Pittigero Mazini in the 10th century, became Pettingen Castle in the 13th century under the Lords of Pettingen noble family.
The castle remains stand as a national monument, reflecting the architectural and military developments of Luxembourg during the medieval period.
The ruins, accessible to visitors throughout the year, are located 4 kilometers north of Mersch and visible from the Luxembourg-north railway line.
In 1684, French King Louis XIV's troops used cannon fire to damage the castle, leading to its current partially preserved state.
