Bock, Castle and scenic viewpoint in Clausen, Luxembourg
The Bock promontory stands on a rocky ledge with cliffs surrounding the River Alzette on three sides in Luxembourg City's historical district.
Count Siegfried acquired the Bock through an exchange with Saint Maximin Abbey in 963, establishing the Castle of Lucilinburhuc as Luxembourg's foundation.
The Bock casemates, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, feature underground tunnels that showcase military engineering from multiple historical periods.
Visitors can access the casemates daily from 10:45 AM to 4:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at 10 euros and student tickets at 8 euros.
The fortification network earned Luxembourg the reference 'Gibraltar of the North' due to its extensive defensive system spanning multiple underground levels.
