Durbuy is first mentioned in 1078 (as Dolbui) and in 1084 (under its current name). The first traces of habitation were found during excavations in the Anticline Cave by Count Pierre d'Ursel. The d'Ursel family still lives in Durbuy Castle. Before the current castle, others existed. According to the Luxembourg archives, one castle was destroyed, and in the eleventh century, another was built by Henry II de Puer, who had received the estate from his mother, Rageline, sister of Pope Stephen II, and her husband, Albert II of Namur. Around 1156, that castle was severely damaged by flames, and during the Wars of Succession of the Duchy of Limburg, it was destroyed several more times. From 1412 onward, Durbuy fell into the hands of the House of Burgundy, and at the end of the fifteenth century, the then existing castle was destroyed by Maximilian of Austria, as were all the castles of the La Marck family: besides Durbuy, these also included the castles of Logne and La Roche. In 1628, Baron Antoine Schetz van Grobendonck leased the Durbuy estate for 40,000 gold marks, a very considerable sum. Besides being a baron, he was also Count of Grobbendonk, Lord of Tilburg and Goirle, Pulle and Pulderbos, and Wezemaal. He served in the Spanish service and led the defense of 's-Hertogenbosch during the Eighty Years' War. At 71, he was also governor of the city of Leuven during the Siege of Leuven. And he was the first in a long line of the d'Ursel family who still inhabit the castle today. In 1731, the castle was rebuilt by the then Duke of Ursel. Countess Auguste d'Ursel, who acquired the d'Ursel family's estate in Durbuy, modernized the castle between 1880 and 1882 with the help of architect Thirian from Namur. During World War II, the castle was occupied several times, and in 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge, it was used as a field hospital by the American liberators, with the billiard table serving as an operating table.
