Comments

Château de Beaufort, located in the Mullerthal (Luxembourg's Little Switzerland), dates back to the middle of the 11th century. In 1348, the Lords of Orley extended the site with an outer wall, keeps and a palace. Jean, Baron de Beck, bought the estate in 1639 and built a new Renaissance-style château. In the 18th century, the castle was deserted and fell into ruin.

Today, the castle has been partially restored and attracts many tourists every year.Automatically translated
