Niederkorn War memorial "Monument aux Morts"

The "Léiffrächen" in Kayl is a national place of pilgrimage and memorial

At the heart of this newly transformed quarter of the city, which comprises the modern campus of the University of Luxembourg, you can see the imposing remnants of the iron ore industry that drove the economy of Luxembourg more than 100 years ago.

An exhibition space like no other.

The US memorial “September 9, 1944 – We will never forget” of Pétange, is actually dedicated to the 2nd Lt. Hyman Josefson, recorded as the first US soldier to loose his life on Luxembourg territory on September 9, 1944, the first day of American troops crossing the French border area liberating parts of southern Luxembourg.

This regional museum focuses on the complex history of forced recruitment during the Nazi occupation of Luxembourg and provides a poignant insight into the suffering of the Dudelange population during the war.

The Architectural Walk allows you to discover the variety of architecture in Esch, including the city’s Art Nouveau and Art Deco heritage.
