Introduction

Inside Clervaux Castle, the exhibition of models of ancient Luxembourg castles presents meticulously crafted scale reconstructions of the country's great fortresses at their heyday. From Vianden to Beaufort and Bourscheid, the models make the defensive geography of this hilly land instantly readable, combining fine craftsmanship with historical research. Built up over many years, they are a wonderful way for children to grasp medieval architecture. Allow about half an hour, and pair it with the Battle of the Ardennes museum and The Family of Man in the same castle for a perfect rainy-day circuit.
