Larochette Castle
The castle overlooks the picturesque village of Larochette, lending it a very special character. The village's first buildings date back to the 11th century and are located on a promontory of Luxembourg sandstone, towering about 50 meters above the valley of the Ernz Blanche, a tributary of the Sûre. A fire in 1565 reduced all the buildings on the site to ruins. The house in Créhange is the only one that was thoroughly restored in the 1980s.
Changing art exhibitions and occasional concerts bring life to the historic walls.

Larochette Castle (Luxembourgish: Buerg Fiels, German: Burg Fels, French: Château de Larochette) stands high above the town of Larochette in central Luxembourg. Dating from the 11th century, the castle was destroyed by fire at the end of the 16th century. Since its acquisition by the State of Luxembourg in 1979, some restoration work has been undertaken.
