Beaufort Castle, Medieval fortress in Beaufort, Luxembourg

The castle complex includes both medieval ruins and a Renaissance château positioned on a large rock formation surrounded by a protective moat.

Construction of the original fortress began in 1050, followed by multiple expansions until 1650, reflecting architectural changes through five centuries of development.

The Renaissance section of the castle maintains its original furniture and decor, presenting visitors with an authentic view of noble life in Luxembourg.

Tours operate from April through November between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM, concluding with a tasting of the local Casséro blackcurrant liqueur.

The site contains two distinct castles from different periods: a medieval fortress and a Renaissance palace, each maintaining separate architectural characteristics.
