Buurgplaatz (alternate names: Buergplaatz, Burrigplatz, Burgplatz, Buergplaz zu Huldang) is a hill in the commune of Troisvierges, in northern Luxembourg. The 559-metre-high (1,834ft) summit lies within the Oesling region at 50.1615°N 6.0281°E / 50.1615; 6.0281.[1]
Tower at the Buurgplaatz
In 1952 the Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière declared Buurgplaatz the highest point in Luxembourg. Previously Napoléonsgaard hill at 547m (1,795ft), located in the Canton of Redange, was considered the highest point.
In 1997 Buurgplaatz lost its status as highest point after GPS survey determined Kneiff at 560m (1,840ft) was 1m higher. [2]
Stone and base of the tower
The declaration plaque on the summit remains and Buurgplaatz may still be erroneously considered the highest point in Luxembourg. [3]
ACT (Administration du Cadastre et de la Topographie) Regional Map R1 Clervaux - Huldange 1:20000 (2003) shows 'Kneiff' at 560m and 'Buergplaz' at 559m.
