The actual, first castle of Wiltz was located in Niederwiltz, where the deanery church stands today. It was intended to protect the town from its enemies, but the location was so poorly chosen that it was repeatedly captured.
In the 13th century, in search of a more favorable site, the Lords of Wiltz built the new castle on a higher rocky outcrop.
Under the reign of Count Jan, construction of the Renaissance castle, which still stands today, began in 1631. The new building was completed around 1720.

Hiking

The castle complex is freely accessible, so you can take a wonderful stroll through it. There are two museums in the old walls: the National Museum of Brewing and the Museum of the Battle of the Bulge. You can find all the information here: visitluxembourg.com/de/attraction/schloss-wiltz.
