Betzdorf Castle

Betzdorf, Luxembourg, Germany

Betzdorf Castle is a neo-baroque chateau in the commune of Betzdorf, eastern Luxembourg, built between 1911 and 1919 by engineer René Müller-Laval to designs by German architect Franz von Luck, featuring a central block with symmetrical wings, chapel, stables, and expansive grounds equipped with early modern amenities like central heating.

After financial troubles and wartime occupation—including Nazi use as a housekeeping school—it passed to the Luxembourg state post-World War II, briefly serving as a reformatory before becoming the residence of Hereditary Grand Duke Jean and Princess Joséphine-Charlotte from 1953 to 1964, birthplace of their children including future Grand Duke Henri.

Acquired by SES in 1986, it now functions as the satellite company's headquarters alongside the Betzdorf Satellite Control Facility, its remote location ideal for interference-free operations amid preserved historic features.
