Medieval Castle Beaufort

Beaufort, Mullerthal Region, Luxembourg

---

Medieval Castle Beaufort in Luxembourg dates back to the 11th century and originally began as a small square fortress on a rock, protected by moats and walls. Over the centuries, it was expanded with additional defensive structures such as a keep in the 12th century.

The castle changed ownership multiple times, with each lord contributing to expansions and renovations. In the 17th century, Baron Jean de Beck added a Renaissance-style mansion adjacent to the medieval fortress, creating a blend of medieval fortifications and Renaissance elegance. The Renaissance wing features distinctive cross-framed windows and has been well preserved, offering insights into Luxembourg’s feudal past and architectural evolution.

Today, visitors can explore both the medieval ruins and the Renaissance château, experiencing a rich historical narrative visible in the castle's architecture and surroundings, set against beautiful Luxembourgish countryside.​
