Château de Wiltz

Top choice in Luxembourg


Wiltz's castle was originally built in the 13th century but destroyed several times; the present château was constructed between 1631 and 1720 in the Renaissance style. Admission includes an audioguide and entry to its three museums: a tannery; an exhibition on the Battle of the Ardennes; and a brewing museum in the stables, with a bottle collection, an authentic if relocated classic bar, and a working microbrewery.
