Beaufort Renaissance Castle
A private residence inhabited until 2012.
Jean de Beck built this manor in 1649, right next to the old medieval fortress. It represents a major change for Beaufort: the move from military defense to a life of comfort. This building is not a ruin; it is a fully preserved home that shows exactly how the nobility in Luxembourg lived and managed their estates over the last four centuries.
The Linckels Legacy
The castle looks the way it does because of Anne Marie Linckels-Volmer. She was the last private owner and lived within these walls until she passed away in 2012. Rather than letting it become a cold museum, she kept the rooms, the stables, and the furniture exactly as they were used. Walking through the dining areas, you can see that this was a functional home until very recently.
Inside the Estate
Because the original interiors are so fragile, you can only visit the castle with a guide. The tour covers the main living quarters and the distillery where "Cassero" is made. This blackcurrant liqueur is still produced on-site following the castle’s old traditions. It is a practical look at history, showing how the estate transitioned from a 17th-century manor into a modern heritage site.
Beaufort Renaissance is a rare example of lived history. It stands as a well-preserved piece of Luxembourgish culture, tucked away in the heart of the forest.
