5 Vianden Castle’s Fortified Wall in Vianden, Luxembourg

This close up view of the Vianden Castle is from the courtyard. Behind this fortified wall are the lower and upper chapels, the latter which has an interesting history. In the 12th century, the parishioners of Vianden had to attend mass in Germany at the Basilica of Roth. After the chapel was built, the German archbishop became so angry that he had Henry I, who was known as the Sun Count, excommunicated in Rome.
