I strongly recommend that you walk up to the castle. From the central market square take the "Rue de Mersch" street and look out for the sign pointing uphill to some steps on the right hand side of the road. Taking this path you will be rewarded by splendid views over town and you walk right underneath the castle walls.
Of course you can also drive up and there is a car park up there. If you want to do that just follow the Rue de Mersch further until you see the appropriate turn off. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The castle dates back to the 11th century. But it is thought that already in the Roman Empire there was some kind of castello built on the same rock.
The castle is open daily from Easter until 31st October from 10 am until 6 pm and the entry fee is 2 Euro for adults and 1 Euro for kids over 6.
We couldn't go inside as we were one day early and after 6 pm on top of that. Leave a Comment Directions: on the rock overlooking town - you cannot miss itWebsite: www.larochette.lu

Or Chriechinger Haus as it is called in the local languge is the only completely restored building of the former castle. It's an impressive tall structure and on the backside there is a little cubicle sticking out without floor and one wonders whether with an appropriate floor it could have been the toilet or a rubbish shute. These days you don't have to pay attention as nothing will fall down. Leave a Comment

You find this tiny museum just opposite the railway station building. It used to belong to the railway station too. There is a big glass window when you go up the few steps and through it you will see remnants of the big old Larochette factory of cloth manufactoring.

Between the market square and the castle you will find this old railway station "Larochette". There is a plaquette on it saying that the trains obviously run from 15.02.1882 until 02.05.1948. Leave a Comment

The best alternative option (apart from visiting the castle) is leisure walking in well marked footpaths around the city. Regional walking maps are available.
There is also a neo-romanesque parish church with Art Nouveau frescoes (open daily 10-17:00) and also an exhibition of textile machines ans tools.

The ruins of Larochette castle are dominating this small charming town at a 150 meters height the White Ernz, an affluent of the river Sure.
The main castle is accessed better by car unless you feel like walking there from the centre of the town.
The main castle which is built of stone is protected by a surrounding wall that nowadays is destroyed for its main part. Luckily a large part of the rest of the castle is restored.
The restored part gives you a fine impression of how a castle life of the 12th century could have been like. You see where the dining room was, the storage room and the bedroom. Paintings resemble of what the rooms might have looked like at these times.
The ticket for self tour was at the time of our visit 2 euros.
You can make lovely panoramic photos over Larochette and the surrounding forest.
