Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The origin of the famous Vianden Castle is a Roman fort, dated from 275 AD. It was likely used as a refuge during invasions of Germanic tribes. The main tower of the modern castle is located on the place of the ancient one. The ancient castle was rather insignificant, but it gave birth to the fortress which became, by the 11th century, the most powerful defensive system in Luxembourg. The castle gained in importance as Counts of Vianden played an important role under the rulers between the Rhine, Moselle and Meuse until the 15th century. Beautifully restored, the Vianden Castle is one of the touristic icons of Luxembourg and it definitely deserves a visit.
There are no traces from the Roman past left on the site excepting traces of the roman ditch that can be seen in the Castle’ cellar (according to the movie that can be seen in the visitor’s center). The digital 3D reconstruction in the visitors’ center is high quality ad it gives an excellent view on the early stage of the castle. |
