Munsbach Castle

[6] The castle itself cannot be visited, and it now serves as the administrative building of the Centre for Social and Emotional Development (CDSE) which created and designed the first open-air mindfulness trail in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which was inaugurated in 2021 by Claude Meisch as Minister of National Education, Children and Youth.

With the help of mindfulness, a practice with origins in Buddhism, the CDSE promotes awareness of emotional skills and well-being.

It was originally an initiative in response to the effects of stress and emotional insecurity caused by the covid-pandemic.

[8][3][9][2] In 1927 the buildings were sold to the Zender-Angelsberg family who operated a distillery,[2] and manufactured the "Bernardine" Liqueur.

[10] In 1943 the castle was sold to Gauleiter Gustav Simon who turned it into an orphanage, which continued to be run by the Luxembourg state after the second world war, until 1979.
