After the death of Valkenbourg-Montjoie in 1352, the domain of Sankt-Vith was ruled by the Counts of Vianden for the next four centuries.
In June 1794, the troops of the French Republic won the battle of Fleurus and occupied Belgium.
The feudal system was abolished and Sankt Vith became a municipality and the capital city of a canton included in the arrondissement of Malmédy and department of Ourthe.
Luxembourg is centrally located in Western Europe where it shares borders with Belgium (Luxembourg and Liège provinces), France (the région of Lorraine), and Germany (the federal states of the Saarland and the Rhineland-Palatinate).
The Luxembourg Central, the Luxembourg Tourist Office in London, and the National Tourist Office web sites have information of interest to travelers and are excellent resources to begin travel planning for a trip to Luxembourg.
The Haute-Sûre (Obersauer) Nature Park is in the Redange-sur-Attert and Wiltzcantons.

Daughter of Countess Maria von Vianden (ca 1337-1400) and Count Simon III von Sponheim, who was Count of Vianden by the right of his wife until his death in 1414.

In 1438 the Lordship of Windegg became a possession of the Cantons of Glarus and Schwyz, and thereby the chapter became a part of the Swiss Confederation (schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft).
Last of all the Blessed Sacrament, displayed in a sun-rayed monstrance of gleaming gold, was borne from the cathedral under a richly embroidered canopy.
The Chapelle du Bildchen, as it is called, is a shrine for a statue of the Virgin which, legend says, two little goatherds discovered nearly a thousand years ago in these same wooded hills.
Annually the statue is removed from the chapel and carried in stately procession along the forest path, to Vianden's parish church.

My favorite area is the vicinity of my grandfather's village, Tadler, in west central Luxembourg and Vianden a bit east on the German border.
Our relatives still maintain the family farm and Serres house in Tadler which reminds me of the house that was restored in Minnesota mentioned in your article.
