Avis Aux Investisseurs : Un Site Historique Dans Une « Zone Mixte », Idéal Pour Développer Une Cohabitation Exceptionnelle

The first historical mention of this castle dates back to 1156. Over the eight centuries since then, the Castle of’Ell has taken on the architectural form we know today: that of an exceptionally charming residence with approximately 560m² of living space and approximately 1,850m² of total floor area, surrounded by a sumptuous park of approximately 2.07 hectares on the banks of the Attert.

The site is listed, and the current owners have carried out a number of works to prepare this historic monument for new uses suited to modern life. The site has recently been classified as a Mix-V zone in the Ell Municipal Land Use Plan (PAG). An architectural survey has been conducted to ensure that precise plans exist for the development of any new project.

Whether for residential or commercial purposes, a renowned architectural firm has been commissioned to develop several basic concepts, in consultation with the authorities, which could be used for the transformation of this historic gem. A concept for the creation of 8 residential units in the annexes has been drawn up, featuring a wide range of living areas (±57m², ±101m², 105m², ±106m², 2 x ±181m², ±199m², ±215m², not including the main house.

At first glance, the compound appears rather unassuming, but holds some lovely surprises once you step through the gate. You then discover a pretty enclosed courtyard with a stately home at its centre, likely built within the walls of the former keep. The entrance to this house features a coat of arms dating from 1635 and opens onto some lovely reception rooms: a hall, two living rooms (one with a fireplace), and a superb vaulted room (a historic kitchen with a hearth and a working bread oven).

The architectural firm’s work focuses primarily on analysing the various possibilities for utilising the castle’s outbuildings (the enclosure): how to create new openings, bring in more light, etc.

Renovation and/or conversion work may qualify for very attractive grants. For further information, or to arrange a viewing, please contact the agency.

Located at the entrance to the village of Ell, this beautiful property is rather discreet, reminiscent of a farmhouse and set slightly back from the road (which is not a main road and is no longer heard once inside the courtyard). The enclosure, which is no longer totally enclosed to the rear, overlooks a beautiful park bordered to the south by the course of the Attert, a small river which flows into the Alzette at Mersch.

Ell is a very pleasant village, with an elementary school with “pre-school”, a beautiful village hall and. All amenities are just 2 km away, in Redange, capital of the canton of the same name.
