Fischbach Castle
Welcome to Fischbach Castle
Moien. Welcome to Fischbach Castle. Since my abdication, this is where I live together with Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. Tradition dictates that the former Grand Duke or the Hereditary Grand Duke and his family live here. Fischbach is smaller than Berg and quieter; it is very pleasant. We participate in village activities.

Who lived in this castle?
Toffee, the Grand Duchess' dog!
This is Toffee, my dog. Sadly, she passed away this summer. She was a Yorkie. She was named after the sweet. I took her with me whenever I can. She even appeared in an official photo! She was a lively little dog who loved running around in the Castle garden. She was also very affectionate. Toffee was part of the family. We will miss her very much…

Fischbach Castle
Fischbach Castle has a long history, dating back almost a thousand years to 1050. Ah, what a lot of stories it would be able to tell if only it could talk: the Polish burning down the army of Duke François de Lorraine in 1635, for example. Or its transformation by the Germans into a rest home for artists during the Second World War.
After the war, Fischbach Castle became the favourite residence of Grand Duchess Charlotte, Grand Duke Henri’s grandmother, who lived there until the end of her life. Since then, it has been the residence of the Hereditary Grand Duke or the Former Grand Duke. It is a quiet and peaceful place.
