History
In 1777 a metallurgical plant was founded in Weilerbach by the abbey of Echternach. The castle is being constructed in 1780. After the French Revolution, a French commissoiner purchased both the plant and castle in 1797. Between 1832-1986 the entire property belongs to a Luxembourg family of Sevais. After 1918 the decline of the factory began, and it was damaged during the second world war. Between 1987 and 1992 the castle was reconstructed and belongs to rural district of Bitburg-Pruem.
Today
