    Castle gate

    The baroque palace, built on a hill in the 12th century, was destroyed several times during the middle ages.

    The castle as we know it was built from 1631 up to 1727, it took them that long because of the 30-year war.
    The last count fled to Bamberg in 1793 to escape the French revolutionary troops. That is where he died as well.
    France sold the building off to private persons and it has been a boarding school for about a hundred years (up to 1950) the state turned it into a home for elderly people in 1957.

    Extremely well worth seeing is also the large palace park. The magnificent open-air palace staircase was built in Renaissance style.

    This is what we saw through the main gate: the tourist information centre and the museum in remembrance of WW2.

    The mean reason to travel to Wiltz was meeting up with my friend Ehi.
    It is sad that he is not allowed to travel abroad and that I could not invite him to visit my country, my city, my home.
    For the time being we have to settle with meeting up in Luxembourg country the few moments we can.

  • Le Château - Wiltz
    Le Château
    by RORRO72
    El Château se asienta en la Ville Haute, en un promontorio rocoso. Pese a estar construído sobre fundaciones del siglo XII, la mayor parte tiene 300 años de antiguedad. Como muchos de los castillos del país su historia es agitada: originalmente fue construída como residencia para los Condes de Wiltz y destruído muchas veces durante las guerras de la Edad Media. El edificio actual fue comenzado en 1631 y sólo terminada en 1727, a causa de la guerra de los Treinta Años. El último Conde Wiltz se refugia en Bamberg, donde muere, durante la invasión de las tropas revolucionarias francesas, en 1793, siendo el edificio vendido a particulares por el Estado Francés. De 1851 a 1950 en una parte del edificio se instaló un pensionado para niñas y en 1957 una casa de retiro para ancianos.

    LE SANCTUAIRE NOTRE-DAME DE FATIMA

    Le Sanctuaire Notre-Dame de
    Fatima
    by RORRO72
    El Santuario se encuentra sobre la colina "Op Bãssent".
    Fué bajo los obuses de la batalla de las Ardennes, que algunos hombre y mujers, bajo el impulso del canónigo Prosper Colling, se refugiaron en una caverna y se propusieron construir un santuario en honor de la Virgen de Fátima para fin de la guerra.
    Después de nueve días de rezos, las tropas alemanas se retiraron de Wiltz el día de San Sebastián, el 20 de Enero de 1945.
    El Santuario fue construído en 1949.

    Desde la inmigración de portugueses en Luxemburgo, se realiza un peregrinaje al Santuario cada año el día de la Ascensión de la Virgen.
