Extremely picturesque location on both banks of the Our, set amid magnificent scenery. Its fine feudal manor dating back to the 9th century, seat of the Counts of Vianden and handed down to the dynasty of Orange-Nassau, is a remarkable medieval building, a real architectural jewel unrivalled in the Ardennes and the Eifel and which is mostly restored. An outer wall with guard towers encircles the town.

The parish church with its 2 naves (former Trinitarian church), built in 1248 in Gothic style (recently renovated), is one of the most significant religious buildings in the country. The former Trinitarian cloister, dating from around 1250, houses a lapidary museum. The Museum of popular Art, in a former mansion, captures the exact image of 18th and 19th century interiors. In an adjoining house there is the Doll and Toys Museum with over 500 dolls. The house where Victor Hugo lived during his exile in 1871 now houses a collection of souvenirs of his various visits to Vianden and our country.

A large network of walking paths, perfectly maintained and signposted, offer access to the unspoilt countryside of the Our valley. The chairlift climbs to a height of 450 metres and offers tourists a wonderful excursion with splendid views. Close to Vianden, the Our dam and the hydro-electric power station are worth a visit. Cycling and mountainbike track. Tennis court and city sightseeing with audioguides (F, NL, D, GB), Tel. +352 83 42 57-1.
