Colpach Castle dates from the beginning of the 14th century. At the end of the 19th century, the castle became the summer residence of the Hungarian painter Munkácsy and his Luxembourgish wife. The composer Franz Liszt also stayed in Colpach before his death. In 1917, Émile Mayrisch, the Luxembourgish steel industrialist, bought the castle. He and his wife turned the castle into a meeting place for politicians, economists, writers and artists between the two world wars. Today, the castle serves as a rehabilitation centre.
The castle is not open to the public.
