Urspelt Castle

After comprehensive restoration work and additions, it recently opened as a hotel and meeting centre.

A new garden was laid out, now one of the area's most notable parks with its avenues and elm trees.

During the Second World War, the Germans used the castle as their headquarters for northern Luxembourg until they were forced to abandon it to the Americans during the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944.

Towards the end of the 20th century, the deserted building was increasingly invaded by the surrounding undergrowth.

[1] Finally, in August 2005, Freddy Lodomez bought the property and immediately embarked on comprehensive restoration work which continued for three years as the building was fitted out as a luxury hotel.
