Betzdorf Castle, Medieval castle in Betzdorf, Luxembourg

The castle stands in eastern Luxembourg, featuring neo-baroque architecture with a prominent central structure and symmetrical wings extending from both sides.

Between 1953 and 1964, the castle served as residence for Hereditary Grand Duke Jean and Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium, where their five children were born.

The property transformed from a royal residence to a nursing home, then hosted scout celebrations before becoming the headquarters of a global satellite company.

Located 23 kilometers from Luxembourg City, the castle sits near the CFL Line 30 railway line at coordinates 49.693889° N, 6.330278° E.

The castle grounds include a satellite control facility that began operations in 1987, chosen for its remote location to minimize signal interference.
