Vianden Castle, built between the 11th and 14th centuries on the foundations of a Roman fort and a Carolingian refuge, is one of the largest and most beautiful feudal residences of the Roman and Gothic eras in Europe.

Until the beginning of the 15th century, it was the residence of the powerful Counts of Vianden, who could boast of their connections with the imperial court, as Henry I (1220-1250) had Marguerite de Courtenay as his wife, a close relative of the Capetian kings from France. In 1417 the county and the castle were inherited by the younger branch of the (German) House of Nassau, which also seized the French Principality of Orange in 1530. The chapel and the two manor houses, the most notable parts of the castle, were built towards the end of the 12th to the beginning of the 13th century. The Julier's quarters, located to the west of the now defunct manor house, date from the early 14th century; The Nassauer quarters were only built in the 17th century. 1820, during the reign of William I of Orange-Nassau, King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Count of Vianden, led to the sale of the castle and its decline. In 1890 the castle became the property of Grand Duke Adolphe of Nassau and from then on remained in the possession of the Grand Ducal family until 1977, when it became the property of the Luxembourg state through a purchase agreement. Since then, the castle has been renovated and rebuilt while maintaining its historic style. Today the castle is a monument of European importance.
