Evaluate the drafted changes
The lead paragraph is well written but I think it is overly detailed. I think that many sentences should be moved to body paragraphs, one example is, "Gothic transformations and trimmings were added at the end of this period." This just seems to have very specific details for an introduction.

I do not know what was specifically added but the article seems complete and the facts were interesting. The tone is neutral and unbiased which is great. All the sources added seem to be reliable and good sources. I thought the article was well organized by time.

There was only one typo that I found throughout the article but there were a lot of run on sentences. I have them listed below with corrections.

This is the only known structure to exist from the first medieval castle on site.

Finally, in 1621 the Nassau Mansion, with its banqueting hall and bedroom, was built by Prince Maurice of Orange-Nassau-Vianden in the Renaissance style, replacing a damaged side wing of the 11th century keep. During the 16th century, the castle was more or less abandoned by the counts of Vianden, who had gained the additional title of the House of Nassau-Orange after Elisabeth, the granddaughter of Henry II of Vianden had willed the County of Vianden together with its castle to her cousin, Count Engelbert of Nassau.

In 1564, Prince William the Silent of Orange, count of Nassau and of Vianden, took an initial interest in Vianden, where he built the first blast furnace in Luxembourg but left in 1566 to lead the Dutch revolt against King Philip II of Spain.

During the Second World War, in the Battle of Vianden which, took place on November 19, 1944, the castle was ably defended against the Waffen-SS by members of the Luxembourg Resistance, against the Nazi occupation, and proved to have some military value even under conditions of modern warfare.

I think the article was really well done!
