Meysembourg Castle

While the site has a history dating back to the 12th century, today's castle was built in 1880 in Neo-Renaissance style and is privately owned.

Custine de Wiltz, the last in line to inherit the property, fled during the French invasion in 1794.

Following a public auction in 1798, the castle fell into the hands of the Lords of Fischbach, Cassal and finally Jean-François Reuter of Heddersdorf who occupied the village after expelling its inhabitants.

[1][2] After buying the property in 1855, the Prince of Arenberg demolished it in 1880 and built a new castle in Neo-Renaissance style.

In 1971, the State architect Charles Arendt carried out restoration work.
