Bourscheid Castle

The castle is so beautiful in the sunlight, great place for photos. Not crowded. There is a top right of cafe where you can drink a beer and eat an ice cream. The main tower is absolutely worth climbing!

Bourscheid Castle is one of the most impressive and atmospheric castles in Luxembourg. Perched high above the Sûre Valley, the setting alone is breathtaking, with sweeping panoramic views over forests, hills, and the river far below. It truly feels dramatic and timeless the moment you arrive.

I passed this stunning building on a tour in 2024 and stayed at the hotel by the river. So this year, 2025, I was determined to return and explore it. A long way, but certainly worth it and I returned home with a knight in shining armour! We had a snack of Croque Monseur and hot chocolate, did a quick walk around and got held up in the cellar whilst the rain passed over which provided an unusual opportunity to get some fun photos. Minimal but adequate food and drink offerings with very limited indoor seating and plenty of outdoor seating. It really must be divine to enjoy a drink in this setting in good weather. You can eat and drink without Gong into the castle. Once you're going around there is little shelter if the weather is wet and it can be breezy due to its exposed location so be prepared. The views all round are exemplary. Sensible sturdy non slip footwear highly recommended due to the cobbles, slopes and warn rock. There are clean toilets and good parking. I'd return and recommend this property. Thank you for a very enjoyable visit.

It’s a wonderful place, surrounded by nature and offering truly magnificent views. Walking around the castle and taking in the scenery feels special, and the atmosphere really makes you appreciate the history and beauty of the area. Definitely a place worth visiting and spending some time exploring.

Ther was a line for tickets. Audio tour was well put together, Although earphones/headphones are recommended with all the visitors around you. Both for your listening pleasure and for not disturbing the other visitors. The prices are fair because of the massive tour through the castle. The toilets were relatively clean for such a large mass of visitors. My kids loved it.

We spent a beautiful and surprising day in this castle. Always with a question mark: how was it in the past, what did people do there, what did they do? I would be very happy if the state of Luxembourg would take a decision to rebuild it as it was done before... Impressive, I liked it a lot!

Nice (but small) castle in the middle of Luxembourg. The price is ok if you like this kind of place (7€ for adults, there are discounts for kids and older people). A visit to the castle took me around 1h. An audio guide is available but I didn't take it so I cannot evaluate its quality. Dogs are allowed.

What a beautiful castle it is, the ruins have survived and ofcourse it was built 1000 years ago yet you can see it feel the history
