The fortifications of Falkenstein Castle were destroyed by the French in 1679. In the Luxembourg register of the year 1777, Falkenstein is still referred to as a parish. According to the visitation protocol from 1761, the church at the castle was in good condition, only the tower was in need of repair. The residents of Waldhof earned their living by working at the castle. Until the end of the 18th century, the castle was the seat of the Falkenstein lordship, which belonged to the Duchy of Luxembourg ( Vianden quarter ) .

In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 .
