The bridge across the river Our in Vianden, Luxembourg

This bridge has a statue of John of Nepomuk on it, the Saint of Bohemia. He was drowned in the Vltava river at the behest of Wenceslaus IX and because of this, he is a protector from floods and drowning. This is why he is often found on or nearby a bridge. In Luxembourg they call him Bommenzinnes.

Vianden Castle, Luxembourg

The castle was built on top of a Roman castellum, built between 360 and 450 AD. It was built in a Romanesque style from the 11th to 13th centuries. In the middle of the 13th century, the castle was renovated in Gothic style.

In the course of history, the castle has been the property of several noble families, including the family of Nassau, that rules Luxembourg today.
