Robertville - Burg Reinhardstein

 
Less than a kilometer from the reservoir rises the mighty and picturesque Burg Reinhardstein, surrounded by a park in the valley of the Warche into which a waterfall plunges down 50m/164ft. The castle was built in 1354 for Wenzel von Luxemburg and was for a long time owned by the dukes of Nassau until it came into the ownership of the ancestor of the Austrian statesman Klemens Wenzel, Prince of Metternich, through the marriage of Anna von Nassau with William von Metternich. In the 19th century the castle fell into disrepair but was restored from 1969 according to the old plans.

The interior of the castle is open to the public; the first room to be seen is the Knight's Hall in which there is remarkable collection of weapons; in the castle chapel are religious works of art dating from the 14th to the 18th century.
Address: Burg Reinhardstein, Chemin du Cheneux 50, B-4950 Ovifat-Robertville, Belgium
