Across a historic bridge from Grand Rue is a replica Rodin bust of French writer Victor Hugo. In 1871 Hugo stayed for three months in the house facing this point, part of his 19-year exile from France. Those three months were long enough for him to get the Vianden castle architect fired for substandard reconstruction work. Even if you’re not excited by Victor Hugo's manuscripts and sketches, the house’s windows offer some of the very best castle views available.
