En un regard
Le château en bref
Munsbach Castle (Luxembourgish: Schlass Mënsbech; French: Château de Munsbach; German: Schloss Münsbach) is located to the west of Munsbach, in the Schuttrange commune, east of Luxembourg City. Built in 1775 in the Baroque style, the main building was originally used as a manor for a long time before being transformed into a castle at the end of the 19th century, with the addition of two towers and several independent buildings.
The castle is situated in the middle of a park with a rose garden that is permanently open to the public free of charge and hosts an annual Rose Festival in September. The garden preserves a collection of over 600 rose varieties with a rich history of Luxembourgish heritage, dating back to the early 20th century, when Luxembourg was once the world's largest exporter of roses. The rose garden was created and is regularly maintained and improved by volunteers from the Lëtzebuerger Rousefrënn (Luxembourg Rose Friends) association, in collaboration with the Schuttrange commune.
The castle itself cannot be visited and now serves as the administrative building of the Centre for Social and Emotional Development (CDSE), which created and designed the first open-air mindfulness trail in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, inaugurated in 2021 by Claude Meisch as Minister of National Education, Children and Youth.
