#Bourscheid Castle #- #Luxembourg #

Bourscheid Castle is situated on an isolated promontory, accessible only from the northwest, 150 meters above the level of the river Sûre meandering down below, near the village of the same name, north of the town of Ettelbruck in Luxembourg.

Bourscheid Castle probably dates back to the 10th century, when a stone construction replaced an earlier wooden defensive structure. Bourscheid Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1095. At first the little square near the keep, the chapel and the palace with the great hall were surrounded by a circular wall with at least 4 towers.
