Clervaux Castle is a striking medieval fortress perched on a hill overlooking the town of Clervaux. Built in the 12th century, it was largely reconstructed after WWII. Today, it serves as a cultural hub, most famously home to Edward Steichen's 'The Family of Man', a UNESCO-registered photography exhibition featuring over 500 images from around the world. Visitors can explore the castle's towers, courtyards, and halls, which also host a museum on the history of the Ardennes region. The castle's dramatic silhouette against the Luxembourg countryside makes it a must-see landmark.
