Mersch Castle

[1] The castle was built in the 13th century by Theodoric, a knight in the service of Countess Ermesinde of Luxembourg.

In 1574, Paul von der Veltz transformed the building into a comfortable castle in the Renaissance style.

However, around 1700, it was once again repaired, this time by Johann-Friedrich von Elter who rebuilt the gate and appended his coat of arms.

The altar bears the arms of the castle's heiress, Charlotte von Elter.

As a result of an exchange agreement, the commune finally regained ownership in 1988 and undertook substantial renovation work for the needs of itse administrative services which now occupy the building.
