The castle was built in the 13th century by Gaspard-Florent de Breiderbach in the English Gothic style. In 1813, it was acquired by the De Blochhausen family. Baron Félix de Blochhausen was born at the castle in March 1834 and died there in November 1915. The castle passed into the possession of the family of Charles de Broqueville in 1935. During World War II, American troops were stationed in the building. Inscriptions and graffiti from these soldiers can still be seen on the castle walls today. The castle was abandoned in 2002. Following the death of Baroness Claudine de Broqueville in January 2018, the castle was donated to the Luxembourg Red Cross. The Baroness wished that a music festival be held on the property after her death. To fulfill this wish, the Red Cross organized a three-day festival with 2,500 visitors from August 2 to 4, 2019. In 2022, the Red Cross expressed its desire to auction the château due to its poor condition and high maintenance costs. The Red Cross will receive two-thirds of the proceeds from the sale, and the remaining third will go to Claudine de Broqueville's legal heirs, with the Red Cross to invest the proceeds in other projects. The Red Cross held an auction, with the minimum bid being €5.2 million. Luxembourg entrepreneur Jos Bourg purchased the building in March 2021 and began renovations on the château. The National Institute for Built Heritage supported the renovations. From a distance, I find the condition of the building deplorable, even though it is beautifully situated.

A beautiful castle, like something out of a fairytale. However, it's not open to visitors; it now belongs to the municipality of Mertzig.

What a view. You can even take a break there.

Nice and flat stretch between all the climbing and descending.

An amazing view!

After the view of the beautiful river bend you walk along it later. Enjoy!

Turelbaach Castle, built by Pol Gilsons, is picturesquely situated on an island in a forest pond. With its towers, windows and gates, it looks like something out of a fairy tale. Even if you can't visit the castle from the inside, it's worth a visit! More information is available at: https://www.visitguttland.lu/de/attraktion/schloss-turelbaach.

Beautiful castle with museum
