The castle remains closed from 9th January until 14th May because of restoration works.

Probably built in the 10th century, Bourscheid chateau was first mentioned in a document in 1095. In the 14th and 15th centuries, it was greatly enlarged and a fortification wall was built, flanked by six Gothic towers. The ruins of the chateau abandoned in the 19th century were bought by the State and opened to the public. The ruins of the chateau above the Sûre valley are illuminated.

The maison de Stolzembourg, a superb Gothic manor house built in 1348, houses a small museum which traces the history of the chateau and the lords of Bourscheid; it is used as the setting of the Bourscheid cultural weeks.

Floodlit every day until midnight.
