Château d’Urspelt opens its doors with ASSA ABLOY

In the heart of the Our Nature Park, Château d’Urspelt combines the charm of a centuries-old castle with the hospitality of a 4-star hotel. When you enter the grounds, you immediately feel at ease. The serene atmosphere is enhanced by the 13 automatic door systems from ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. They make access to the castle, the wellness area, and the outdoor areas more comfortable, without compromising the historic appearance.

Historical heritage with contemporary comfort

The origins of Château d’Urspelt date back more than 300 years, when the castle was built on the remains of a building from the 13th century. During the Second World War, it served as a command post and field hospital. After liberation, it remained empty and was gradually taken over by nature. In 2005, entrepreneur Freddy Lodomez decided to completely restore the castle. For three years, a hundred craftsmen worked on the restoration. In October 2008, the hotel officially opened its doors after being recognized as a national monument of Luxembourg. In 2016, a new wing of 1,800 m² was added.

Today, the 20,000 m² domain offers 57 rooms and suites of 4-star superior level, a NUXE® spa, a gastronomic restaurant and seminar rooms. Couples on romantic getaways, wedding guests and business visitors come to visit here. For them, access should feel natural and comfortable, and in a protected monument, the solution should not disturb or stand out in any way.

One partner for all entrances

For all its access points, Château d’Urspelt chose to use the same supplier: ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. In total, there are 13 door systems: 5 ASSA ABLOY SL500 sliding door operators, 2 ASSA ABLOY SL500 telescopic sliding door systems, 5 ASSA ABLOY SW300 revolving door operators and 1 ASSA ABLOY SW1000 B Balance revolving door system.

That variation is no coincidence. Each access point has different requirements, from a historic door to a passage with limited space. And each time, the range from the world leader in access solutions offers the right answer. For the guests, the result feels like one whole: the doors open smoothly and automatically everywhere.

Smooth, discreet and accessible to everyone

The historic wooden entrance door of the castle is heavy, but opens automatically and smoothly thanks to the SW300, making it effortless for guests with luggage, a stroller or a wheelchair to enter. The drive operates discreetly and leaves the monumental character of the door intact.

For access to the wellness area and other areas where many guests pass through, the choice fell on the SL500 and SL500 Telescopic automatic sliding doors. They ensure smooth flow of traffic and pleasant indoor comfort.

The available space at the spa’s exterior doors is limited. The SW1000 B Balance ensures automatic access without compromising the architecture. This way, Château d’Urspelt welcomes its guests with open doors and respect for the past.
