Larochette Castle is a fascinating place to visit, especially for those who enjoy history and beautiful views. Although it is now in ruins, you can still imagine the grandeur it once had. The site is well maintained and offers a real journey back in time, with information about the castle and the region.
From the top, the view over the village of Larochette and the surrounding valleys is absolutely stunning. It’s worth taking your time to walk through the ruins, exploring the different corners and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
Access is easy, with parking nearby and a short walk up to the entrance. The ticket price is fair and contributes to the preservation of the site. I also recommend combining the visit with a stroll through the village of Larochette, which is charming and full of small cafés and restaurants.
A must-see stop for anyone exploring Luxembourg who enjoys a mix of nature, culture,...

If you like history, definitely visit here; even if not, it's an interesting site and keeps the kids occupied. We spent about an hour exploring...

The road towards the castle is one car only with a few passing places en route - a bit tricky if you are in a motorhome like we were! When you are there though, make sure you explore fully as there are lots of hidden areas that are just off the main track. Everything is very safe so no issues with the height! Well worth getting a picture of the castle from the town below so you can see it at scale! You can drive down or there is a walking path to the left of the...
