Esch-sur-Sûre Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Esch-sur-Sûre, Luxembourg
The castle stands on a rocky promontory surrounded by the Sûre River on three sides, creating a natural defense system for the structure.
Built in 927 by Meginaud and his wife Hiletrude, the castle began with an eight-meter square Romanesque tower before expanding during the 13th century.
The castle ruins represent Luxembourg's medieval architecture, combining Romanesque foundations with later Gothic additions that showcase regional building techniques.
Visitors can access the illuminated ruins during evening hours, with restoration work ongoing since 2005 when the Luxembourg State acquired the property.
The castle's defensive wall stretches 450 meters around the village, with local houses incorporating sections of the fortification as their back walls.
