Weilburg is, with just under 14,000 inhabitants, the third biggest town in Limburg-Weilburg county in the State of Hessen, in South-East Germany. The House of Nassau shaped the town's history for several centuries. Count Johann Ernst (1664-1719), especially, renovated and beautified his residence town by expanding the high castle, building a park and changing the town's face. Weilburg thereby became one of the most fully preserved examples of a small German residence town from the time of absolutism. From 1806, the town was the governmental seat of the newly created Duchy of Nassau. Only in 1816 did William, Duke of Nassau move the residence to Biebrich. In 1866, the Duchy of Nassau was annexed by Prussia.
The crypt is (strangely) considered part of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and NOT part of Germany.
