MERSCH

Mersch Castle In the year 1232 Theodorich I burst on to the scene. The first Lord of Mersch was a knight and vassal, thus head of the court administra- tion of Countess Ermesinde. He built a castle in what today is the centre of Mersch. The castle was repeatedly attacked over the centuries, for example by Burgundian troops, who set it on fire. Towards the end of the 16th century, Paulus von der Veltz had the medieval castle rebuilt into a comfortable manorial abode. Mersch Castle The former castle chapel houses a small castle Place St Michel museum. Today the castle is the seat of the L-7556 Mersch T +352 32 50 23 1 municipal administration.

ANSEMBOURG

Ansembourg Castle Ansembourg Castle was built in the first half of the 17th century by Thomas Bidart, a pioneer of the iron industry. It underwent a significant change in the 18th century when Bidart’s heirs were ennobled first as barons in 1728 and later as counts. The gardens were laid out in 1750. They include statues, stairs and decorative fountains in the style of the gardens of that Ansembourg Castle 10, rue de la Vallée period (see page 72).

Schoenfels Castle Frederic of Schoenfels aka „Ferri“ built a fort- ified court in Schoenfels in 1292. An imposing 21-metre high fortified and residential tower was erected. The keep was rebuilt more often over the centuries. In the 19th century the castle was given a neo-Gothic makeover, the windows were enlarged and roof structures were added.

Useldange Castle The estate of Useldange came into being by di- vision of inheritance ca. 1100. The first owners of Useldange Fortress were probably Theobald of Useldange and his wife Azeka. The castle and chapel suffered severe damage in the 15th century. Later the fortress decayed visibly. In 1924 Francis Kuhn-Wolff acquired the fortress ruins. Instead of the gate she had a villa built, which today serves as the town hall.
