Bourglinster Castle

Junglinster, Luxembourg, Luxembourg

---

Bourglinster Castle is a historic castle in the village of Bourglinster, part of the municipality of Junglinster in central Luxembourg.

Its origins date back to at least the 11th century, and over time it developed from a fortified medieval stronghold with a keep, chapel, and defensive walls into a larger castle with Renaissance and Baroque additions. The castle suffered damage during several wars, including conflicts in the 16th century and later attacks by French forces in the 1680s, but it was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded.

After being acquired by the Luxembourg State in 1968, extensive restoration work preserved the complex and its historical character. Today, Bourglinster Castle is a cultural and event venue that hosts concerts, exhibitions, conferences, and receptions. It is also known for its acclaimed restaurant and remains one of Luxembourg’s most attractive and well-preserved historic castles.
