He was a son of the privy councilor Hans Frederik von Levetzau (* 1711 on Bygholm; † 1763 ibid) and his wife Sophie geb. von Eynden (Eyndten) (* 1718; † 1795). There is only uncertain news about his childhood, except that he was baptized on November 24, 1742. As early as 1749, Levetzau became a chamberlain and from 1763 was in the service of Frederick of Denmark (1753-1805). In 1768 he was appointed mayor of the diocese of Ribe and magistrate of Riberhu's office, and in 1776 he became chamberlain . A year later he was made the white knight of the Dannebrog .
