Beaufort Castle

Beaufort Castle, now mostly in ruins, was built in the middle ages. Archaeologists believe it was initially founded as the castle for a family of Luxemburg vassals in the twelfth century as a protective fortification in an attempt to separate the lands of the Echternach monastery.

What remains of the castle really is beautiful. I loved all the moss and flowers growing out of the walls and the play of light on the stone. The Forrest was filled with tall dense trees that block out the sky when you stand beneath them.
