The medieval city of Vianden
A dive into history in the heart of the Luxembourg Ardennes
The medieval city of Vianden
Vianden was a fortified town, nestled at the foot of the castle which dominated and protected it. In the Middle Ages, it was the capital of the mighty county of Vianden, which included 135 villages and extended to Prum and Bitbourg and was as large as the present Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Built from the 11th to the 14th century on the foundations of a Roman fort and a Carolingian shelter, Vianden Castle is one of the largest and most beautiful feudal residences of the Romanesque and Gothic periods in Europe.
Over time famous figures have appreciated the charm of Vianden such as Queen Elisabeth of England, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, President of the French Council Robert Schuman and President of the Federal Republic of Germany Gustav Heinemann, etc.
