Vianden Castle in Luxembourg 4K

This is a video of Vianden Castle in Luxembourg. The castle is one of the largest fortified castles west of the river the Rhine, and it is located in the North of the small country. In 2019, the castle of Vianden was listed by CNN as one of the 21 most beautiful castles in the world. Set on top of a 310m hill, the castle dominates the town of Vianden. First historical mentions indicate that the castle was built in the 11th century. Up until the 17th century, it was regularly expanded, repaired or even completely changed to adapt and reflect the Gothic style. In the early 19th century, the owner of the castle started demolishing the building and selling roof tiles, wooden panels, doors, and windows. It didn't take long before the castle turned into a ruin. Many years later, when someone else bought the property, restoration works started. In 1990, most of the restoration works were completed. Nowadays, the castle can be visited with a guided or unguided tour. Fun fact: Each year in August a medieval festival is organized with dueling knights, troubadours, jugglers and artisans.
