In 1731, the castle of Durbuy was rebuilt on the ruins of the old castle. The current building is the result of an 18th century rebuilding and major restoration between 1880 and 1882 by the Countess d'Ursel, whose family has owned the castle from 1756 until today.

The current castle, which belongs to the d'Ursel family, was built around 1880 on the site where the Durbuy castle had always stood. The first mentions in texts date back to the 11th century. In the 13th century, Durbuy was part of a defensive structure in the north of the County of Luxembourg. The gates and ramparts of the castle disappeared in the 18th century when King Louis XIV had the city and castle dismantled in 1675 and 1689.
Today, the old legendary castle is only a shadow of a legend and appears to be passé for the occasional day tripper.

New legends have taken over Durbuy and embraced it financially.
