Beaufort Castle

Beaufort Castle is situated in the homonymous town in eastern Luxembourg, in a region often referred to as %u201ELittle Switzerland%u201C. The ancient castle complex, which consists of the ruins of a medieval fortification and an adjacent Renaissance ch%uFFFDteau, was built in different construction periods from the 12th to the 17th century. In 1639, the construction of the new Renaissance ch%uFFFDteau was initiated. All the attention was focused on the new project, the old fortress was abandoned and, as a consequence, the original structure deteriorated increasingly. Today, the ch%uFFFDteau is a private property and not open to the public. The ruins of the medieval castle, on the other hand, can be visited daily as they have been adapted to welcome tourists. A glass roof has been installed, for example, to protect the ruins from further decay. Looking up while climbing the stairs inside the old castle, visitors will get a good impression of the immense height of the former fortress. Beautiful motif with multiple facets, nestled amidst nature. Easy access. Sanitary facilities, additional premises for crew and equipment, parking available.
