Luxembourg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The place formerly belonged to the diocese of Metz and was incorporated into France in 1769.

Rüttgen Castle east of the village, of which only a ruin remains, belonged to the Lords of Rüttgen. Mathilde von Rüttgen, who was prioress of the Marienthal monastery near Mersch in Luxembourg in 1411, came from their family.

Through the Peace of Frankfurt on May 10, 1871, the region became part of the German imperial state of Alsace-Lorraine. The village belonged to the Diedenhofen-Ost district in the Lorraine district.[2] After the First World War, the region had to be ceded to France in 1919 due to the terms of the Versailles Treaty and became part of the Moselle department. During the Second World War the region was occupied by the German Wehrmacht. For those interested, the castle is currently for sale 🏰

A combination of two chateaux which originated in 1131 with many additions since then. From the road you can only see some walls and the remains of a tower. Taking this hike though you approach the Chateau from the forest and you can appreciate the size and grandeur it once must have had.
