Buurgplaatz

Buurgplaatz (alternate names: Buergplaatz, Burrigplatz, Burgplatz, Buergplaz zu Huldang) is a hill in the commune of Troisvierges, in northern Luxembourg.

[1] In 1952 the Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière declared Buurgplaatz the highest point in Luxembourg.

Previously Napoléonsgaard hill at 547 m (1,795 ft), located in the Canton of Redange, was considered the highest point.

In 1997 Buurgplaatz lost its status as highest point after GPS survey determined Kneiff at 560 m (1,840 ft) was 1m higher.

[2] The declaration plaque on the summit remains and Buurgplaatz may still be erroneously considered the highest point in Luxembourg.
