Grand Ducal Palace
The city residence of the Grand Ducal family is right in the
heart of the old town, and is surprisingly unpretentious,
recognisable more by the fact that there are sentry boxes outside.
The building features ochre yellow stone decorated with spires and
railings, overlooking a paved pedestrian square. It was originally
the site of a medieval town hall that was destroyed by a gunpowder
explosion in 1554, and rebuilt 20 years later. An annex to the
building was built in 1859 and is the seat of the Chamber of
Deputies. Guided tours are available in July and August by
arrangement with the Luxembourg City Tourist Office.
