Vianden Castle

Vianden Castle, like a huge stronghold, sits high on its mountain, overlooking the village below. Vianden castle, built in the 11th century on top of a Roman fortress, is a historical masterpiece with breathtaking views. There are various places to stop and photograph the forest as you drive through it. The true splendor, however, is found once inside.
