Beaufort Castle

Beaufort Castle, an amazing medieval castle from the 11th century, is another lovely day trips from Luxembourg. Beaufort was built in four stages, the earliest of which was an old and modest square-shaped stronghold on a large rock. The Renaissance section of the castle was erected in 1649 by a famous Luxembourger, Jean Baron de Beck. Anne Marie Linckels lived in Beaufort until her death in 2012, at the age of 97. Following her husband's death, Anne Marie Linckels served as Beaufort's last true "chatelaine." She left the castle in excellent shape for the government and the public, and visitors were not permitted for another year.

Beaufort Castle is only a 20-minute drive away from Luxembourg City. It would take roughly 1.5-2 hours to get there using public transportation. Take bus 447 to Ettelbruck, then change to bus 502 and get out at Beaufort, Op der Gare. The castle is only a 5-minute walk away.
