The castle at Vianden, Luxemburg

01 Jul 1984 171
Old picture of the early 1980s. The castle was a rather empty affair. It was constructed between the 11th and 14th century. It came into the hands of the house of Nassau in 1417. In 1820 king William I of the Netherlands sold it piece by piece and it fell into disrepair. In 1977 it was restored. www.castle-vianden.lu/english/index.html See here for a picture before the restoration: www.flickr.com/photos/twocrabs/985622594/

André Franquin was a Belgian artist who made comic strips and created several characters, like Gaston Lagaffe (Guust Flater in Dutch) and Marsupilami. The exhibition brought many things from the comic strips to life.
