The Grand Ducal Palace has a section that's used by the royal family, so you might get a response.

Click on the pics you want. They should open in a new window. Save the pics to your hard drive. Get a photobucket account. Upload the pics to photobucket (the site does all the hard work, you just have to locate the pics on your hard drive). Then come back here and use the IMG tags to post the pics.
**There is also a way to use photobucket by linking directly to the website, but some sites don't allow that, so I told you the foolproof way.

Hi, I've been lurking for a bit just getting a feel of the ropes and learning about the Grand-Ducal family (and others) on the forum. Although I understood the French website, I did a quick search and found this website, the same as above, partly in English about the Chateau De Vianden.
http://www.castle-vianden.lu/english/index.html
Hope that helps anyone who needs it. And I wanted to say thanks for all the marvelous information you all provide here. I've been enjoying this forum very much. Take care.

To my knowledge, the current Grand Ducal house of Luxembourg is actually from the House of Nassau, and is no relation to the Dukes of Luxembourg who were Kings of Bohemia in the 13th and 14th centuries. I don't think there are any ties to the current Grand Dukes and the Czech Republic. Please, someone tell me if I am incorrect in this assumption

They had Castles in Germany. Until 1934 they owned the Castles of Biebrich and Weilburg. In the Vault of Weilburg Castle are the Grand Duke Adolphe, Grand Duchess Adehleid Marie and Grand Duke Guillaume IV. buried. Every year on 17.11. Adolphe's death anniversary the Vault is opened. The Vault is luxemburgian Territoriy and not german. This 2 Castles where sold to the Country of Prusssia by Grand Duchess Charlotte in 1944. The Family also owned Hohenburg Castle in Bavaria which Duke Adolphe bought after he lost Nassau. He and also later his daughter-in-law Grand Duchess Marie Anne spend there a lot of time. it was sold in the 1950's.

I'm not sure if this was posted yet, but it's a great video of the palace.
