Esch-sur-Sure Castle is a ruined castle located on a spur in the small town of Esch-sur-Sure in the north-west of Luxembourg. It is naturally protected by a sharp meander in the River Sure which surrounds the town and the castle on three sides.
Today only the ruins of the castle remain although the State acquired the site in 2005 and began restoration work the following year. The site is open to the public and is illuminated in the evenings.
