Berg Castle
Berg Castle is the official residence of Luxembourg's Grand Ducal family, set in Colmar-Berg in the country's centre. The estate passed into Grand Ducal hands in 1845, and the 1848 constitution designated it the sovereign's exclusive home. The previous structure was demolished in 1906 and the current neo-Gothic building was constructed between 1907 and 1911 to designs by Munich architect Max Ostenrieder and local architect Pierre Funck-Eydt.
During the German occupation of World War II the castle was requisitioned for the re-education of local girls and its most valuable artworks were stolen; the Grand Ducal family did not return until 1964. Three of Luxembourg's last five monarchs were born within its walls. The castle is not open to the public.
