Walferdange Castle

His son, William II, converted it into a royal residence where he stayed when visiting Luxembourg.

It was, however, his son Prince Henry and his wife Amalia who extended the castle and its gardens while they lived there from 1853.

Prince Henry, who was governor of Luxembourg, was well liked, especially in Walferdange, where he distributed gifts to the children each Christmas.

During the 20th century, the castle was used successively as a hospital, a teacher training college, an army barracks for the American and then the Luxembourg army and a pedagogical institute, before the University of Luxembourg opened its Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education there in 2003.

[1][2] In 2003, the castle was transformed to serve as one of the campuses of the University of Luxembourg that housed the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education.
