The "castle" Wirtgen ( French château de Wirtgen ) is a neo-Gothic building in Diekirch (Luxembourg), which was built in 1825.
The building initially belonged to the carriage entrepreneur Auguste Wirtgen . After his death, the building became the property of the municipality in 1889, which it served as the town hall until 1959 . In addition to the administration and the municipal art gallery of Diekirch ( French Galerie d´Art Municipale ) it now houses, among other things, classes from the Diekirch branch of the Conservatoire de Musique du Nord music school .
