A long corridor of Vianden Castle develops in a fascinating perspective, with its white plastered walls and arched windows following rhythmically. Natural light enters copiously through the openings, creating a strong contrast with the shadowed areas of the wooden ceiling and dark plank floor. The splayed windows reveal the thickness of the ancient defensive walls, while the gentle curve of the corridor suggests the circular structure of a tower. This space probably served as a patrol walkway or connection between various parts of the castle, testimony to the refined medieval Luxembourg architecture.
