He has a home I think he will live in this one once he marries... what do you think about that ? why not ? A simple life for a simple guy
Are you saying Chateau de Berg was sold too? I thought you said the Grand Duke resides there part of the time. I guess they must've had financial problems a while back and perhaps that's why they sold properties because wasn't it reported they sold family jewelry and other items a few years ago too?Viandan is surely beautiful! It used to belong to the Grand Ducal Family, however, it has been sold to the state many years ago.
Aside from regular investment properties that normal people have, the family only owns Chateau de Fischbach which is held in the Nassau Family Trust. All the other properties like Viandan, the Palace and the Chateau de Berg are owned by the state. Chateau de Berg is always home to the reigning Grand Duke and his spouse/children this is enshrined in the constitution. I'm not aware that any of the other family reside there other than Henri, Maria-Teresa and their children and grand children who live there when in Luxembourg. Grand Duke Jean resides at Fischbach.
They do have apartments in the Grand Ducal Palace and use it very frequently, but it is not their main residence. Officially the Grand Duke resides in both Chateau de Berg and the Palace.
They used to own many properties including Viandan, Chateau de Berg, and Betsdorf (sold to private company) all of which were sold.

I read somewhere that there are apartments in the Grand Ducal Palace which are still livable.
Maybe Guillaume and his future wife can live there while GD Jean can reside at Chateau de Fischbach?
from the ConstitutionThe Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg and the Chateau de Berg are reserved for the residence of the Grand Duke.
I agree with you... I think the same...I think G and his lovely wife will live in Chateau de Fischbach with Jean Chatea is pretty big so for example G and family can have left wing of it while Jean has right wing (you got my point )
