Berg Castle (Château de Berg), also called Colmar-Berg, is the principal residence of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. It is situated in the town of Colmar-Berg, in central Luxembourg, near the confluence of the Alzette and the Attert, two of Luxembourg's most important rivers.
Three of the past four monarchs of Luxembourg were born at Berg Castle: Grand Duchess Marie-Adélaïde (born 1894; reigned 1912–19), Grand Duchess Charlotte (born 1896; reigned 1919–64), Grand Duke Jean (born 1921; reigned 1964–2000) and Princess Marie Gabriele of Luxembourg (born 1925).
