Larochette Castle (Luxembourgish: Buerg Fiels, German: Burg Fels, French: Château de Larochette) stands high above the town of Larochette in central Luxembourg. Dating from the 11th century, the castle was destroyed by fire at the end of the 16th century. Since its acquisition by the State of Luxembourg in 1979, some restoration work has been undertaken.

Hiking

The castle, which offers an impressive view and dominates the townscape, can be visited. The autopedestre leads straight to it. For this purpose, the AP leads a bit on an asphalt path. There are also parking spaces just before the castle above. That means someone who can walk well would also come there.

Hiking

Mostly burned down but the foundations and a main house are still standing. Beautiful views in all directions.
