Fodor's Expert Review Châteaux de Beaufort
Echternach and Little Switzerland
Castle/Palace
Fodor's Choice
Around 15 km (9 miles) west of Echternach, at the top of the Ernz Noire valley, a short detour leads to Beaufort. Near the village stand two splendid castles, side by side: a magnificently imposing medieval shell only partially restored after World War II bombing left it in ruins, and a Renaissance-style chateau dating from the 17th century.
