Discover Luxembourg

Luxembourg's story is intertwined with the rise and fall of great empires, from the Roman conquest that established the city of Luxembourg, to the feudal domains of the Middle Ages. Its strategic location made it a prized possession for dukes, kings, and emperors.

During the Renaissance, the House of Luxembourg rose to prominence, and the city itself became a stronghold of culture and learning. In the centuries that followed, the nation experienced the ebb and flow of power as it passed between Habsburg, French, and Prussian hands.

The 19th century marked a turning point as Luxembourg's sovereignty was secured under the Treaty of London, although its borders were adjusted. The city of Luxembourg, surrounded by formidable fortifications, witnessed significant conflicts during both World Wars.

Today, Luxembourg is a prosperous member of the European Union. It is one of the smallest countries in Europe, but it is also one of the richest. Luxembourg is known for its beautiful scenery, its well-preserved medieval castles, and its vibrant cultural scene.
