Koerich Castle

Standing on level ground in the valley of the stream of Goeblange, the castle's impressive keep and external walls blend harmoniously with the Baroque church and the old houses in the centre of the village.

From 1380, Gilles of Autel and Koerich converted the stronghold into a more comfortable residence by building two 12-m towers at either end of the south wall.

In 1580, the new owner Jacques de Raville made further changes, demolishing part of the property and adding two Renaissance wings.

[1] After the death of the Ravilles in the second half of the 18th century, the castle started to fall into ruin owing to lack of maintenance.

In 1950, Pierre Flammang, the last private owner, carried out some essential structural repairs before the castle finally came into the hands of the State.
