Le Théâtre des Reines
A chapel initially built in the year 1620 and transformed into a art deco ballroom between 1923 and 1929. Before first World War it has been used for several purposes. Alternately it has been used as a ballroom, a stable, a recreation room and as a concert hall. It has been closed in 2001 and is now being renovated.
Fortress Luxembourg (Casemates)
The first underground tunnels were built in 1644, in the era of the Spanish domination. The 23-kilometre long galleries were enlarged only 40 years later by Vauban, the French military engineer and fortress builder, and in the eighteenth century by the Austrians. The subterranean defensive passages were placed on different levels and reached down as far as 40 metres. It is these impressive defence works that conferred Luxembourg the name of “Gibraltar of the North”. After the dismantling of the fortress in 1867, 17 kilometres of the casemates were spared, left in good condition.
