The Immo LEO real estate agency is proud to present the Stolzembourg castle complex, comprising the habitable castle and the remains of the former castle, including its fortress tower, set in 1 ha and 33 ares of land.
Stolzembourg has around 190 inhabitants and is a section of the Luxembourg commune of Putscheid in the canton of Vianden. The village of Stolzembourg is bounded to the east by the Our, a tributary of the Sûre, which forms the German border at this point. 1.5 kilometers from Stolzembourg lies a 500-year-old copper mine.
According to research by Dr. Thomas LUTGEN, qualified restorer (FH), the main historical axes can be traced as follows: The original Stolzembourg castle was first mentioned in a document in 1316. The building was demolished and rebuilt on the remains after several historical developments. In 1898, an English lady acquired the castle ruins and had the main castle rebuilt for residential purposes. This work was completed in 1906. In 1973, the municipality of Putscheid acquired the entire property, as well as the remains of the old fortress tower, and carried out renovation work on the castle.
In 1990, the new owner took over the entire property and continued the renovation work. Renovation/completion work is currently underway.
The ancient castle fortress tower directly adjacent to the living castle was first mentioned in history in 1090.
It too appears to have been destroyed and rebuilt several times over the course of history.
The surrounding area, with parts of the fortress walls, the passageways, the bridge with access, and the tree-lined gardens, is impressive and requires more regular maintenance.
The castle itself is a construction consisting of a partial basement, a first floor, two upper floors and an attic.
It is a load-bearing stone structure with reinforced concrete slabs and beams. The roof structure is traditional, with natural slate roofing dating from 1991.
The facades are rendered with plinths and natural stone window surrounds. Exterior joinery is double-glazed wood.
Interior joinery is wood.
The building has oil-fired central heating with an underfloor boiler, fed by radiators fitted with thermostatic valves. Domestic hot water is produced by the boiler via a boiler.
The building is secured by an alarm system.
Basement :
The partial basement comprises two independent cellars. The cellar with the lime distillery is accessible from the first floor of the château. The vaulted wine cellar is accessible from the outside via a trapdoor and staircase.
- First floor:
The first floor comprises an entrance hall, 3 rooms, a bedroom in the tower, a stairwell and a sanitary area.
- 1st floor:
Landing, 5 rooms and a tower bedroom.
- Attic:
The attic is accessible via a wooden ladder in the room on the 2nd floor, and comprises two rooms.
Remains of the château's former tower and annexes:
This is a heterogeneous building that has been renovated at different times, using different building materials.
The ensemble comprises a tower and an annex with a roof.
The château, its outbuildings and part of its park-garden are classified as national monuments.
The grounds are bordered by natural stone walls, rocks, hedges, trees and shrubs.
Partially reinforced paths lead through the park and site. The park is beautifully planted with century-old trees and copses.
