Château Beaufort

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:38:00

Across a pretty, part-wooded valley behind the village of Beaufort is a ruinous but very imposing five-storey medieval castle. Once the site of a Roman camp, the sandstone fortress expanded from 12th-century origins but never recovered from WWII bombing during the Battle of the Ardennes. There’s no 'interior' or decor but there are many levels to climb and explore. The castle cash desk sells locally made plum and blackcurrant liqueurs.
