Esch-sur-Alzette

Le Fonds Belval - "Möllerei" building

The concert hall you don’t want to miss!

Relaxation and water fun in the Minett metropolis.

The FerroForum was created with the aim of preserving and promoting the cultural and industrial heritage of Esch, as well as showcasing the know-how about the processing of iron and steel into products we use every day. The space, originally restored as part of the Esch 2022 European Capital of Culture programme, is a destination for all those who are curious about how metal objects (things that last) get made. Established as a non-profit association, the FerroForum space is located in the central workshop of the former Arbed Esch-Schifflange ironworks.

As you arrive in Belval, you can see, in the distance, a sunflower-yellow building whose undulating shape interacts with the curved topography of this former Luxembourg mining area. Its colour – called ‘construction-site-yellow’ pays homage to the working-class world. This quirky 400m2 building, designed by Luxembourg-based Polaris Architects, is now rented out for various meetings or eventsBy the way, the name comes from the carts that in the past transported iron ore up an inclined lift for loading into the blast furnace.

Espace d'art contemporain

A place where talent can grow!

Exceptional legacy from the mining era

Standing right on one corner of Resistance Square (also known as Brillplaz) in the heart of Esch, the Escher Theater is both a receiving and producing organisation. Each season, the theatre offers around 50 performances of theatre, dance and music – together with creative work which span all these disciplines. Here you can see productions from European theatres as well as from Luxembourg, but also work co-created with the local community. As Luxembourg stands at the crossroads of other countries, the venue asserts its cross-border and multicultural vocation through multilingual programming, primarily in French and German. Since 2018, plays for young audiences have been one of the main focuses of its programme.
