Just 40 minutes from Luxembourg City, Château du Pont d’Oye in Belgium hosts private individuals and functions in a fairytale setting, where dreams can come true.
Who hasn’t dreamt of being Lord of the Castle? Of having sumptuous rooms at your disposal for an evening, organising a lavish dinner party and enjoying fabulous, extravagant adventures…
Who hasn’t dreamt of being a princess? Of making your childhood fantasy come true for the day, playing the romantic role you always longed to play, celebrating a wedding or hosting a masquerade ball…
Of, as in the days of the Marquise, entertaining your intimate circle in a large, yet homely hall, warmed by a blazing log fire and lit by the soft glow of candlelight, with a parquet floor that creaks with your every step and the enchanting sounds of timeless piano pieces by Mozart or Chopin echoing through the room…
What you are longing for is that fairytale place of your childhood dreams. A place steeped in history, with many a story to tell. A place that is at once refined and inviting, proud and welcoming. Château du Pont d’Oye is that place.
For the past five years, this 17th-century estate, on the edge of a forest on the Belgian/Luxembourg border, has been steadily brought back to life. In 1932, the château was purchased by Pierre Nothomb, the great-grandfather of famous Belgian novelist Amélie Nothomb, whose novel First Blood, for which she was awarded the Prix Renaudot, is set within the walls of Château du Pont d’Oye. The château remained in the Nothomb family until 2019, when it was taken over by its current patron, Vincent Gouverneur, a local resident and partner in a major business law firm in Luxembourg. Five years later and after millions of dollars of investment in renovating the château and its banqueting halls and accommodation, parkland and ponds, Château du Pont d’Oye has been restored to its former glory.
In December 2023, twelve rooms were also completely renovated and modernised to welcome lords and princesses, whether for a romantic weekend à deux, a family celebration or a business seminar… Other projects in the pipeline include an orangery, a spa and woodland accommodation. So, step back in time and into the world of your dreams at Château du Pont d’Oye!
