Wintrange Castle

Wintrange Castle (French: Château de Wintrange), located in the centre of Wintrange near Schengen in south-eastern Luxembourg, is a privately owned Renaissnace style castle built in 1610.

Location

The castle is a historic landmark in the Moselle valley and is surrounded by a 1.5 hectare private park. Adjacent to the estate is the Haff Remich bird sanctuary and national park with lakes and ponds stretching down to the river.

History

The castle was built in 1610 by Alexandre de Musset, the Lord of Foetz. The main building with its four towers still stands today. Fortifications and a gunport were added as defences during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The barn with a fifth tower was added in the 18th century. In 1938, the industrialist Nick Schlesser bought the property. The castle was badly damaged in the 1940s when it was used by the Germans during the Second World War and then by the Americans at the end of the war. Schlesser's son, Henri, fully restored the building which is now owned by his children, Nora and Philippe.

The castle today

The castle is privately owned and is not open to tourists. Visitors are admitted by appointment only.
