The Grund Bridge is a stone bridge that carries the Münsterstrasse over the Alzette in the Grund district. It is an important link between the two sides of the charming Grund district and offers stunning views of the Alzette and the old town. From May to October, on the first Sunday of every month, the "Konscht am Gronn" art market takes place here, bringing together local and international artists presenting various art forms, from painting and sculpture to photography and glassmaking.

Grund district, Luxembourg City

Highlight • Settlement

The Grund is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Luxembourg City. As early as the 14th century, a hospice is mentioned in this area, which was located in the building of today's National Museum of Natural History. It was the forerunner of the city's civil hospices and provided care for the elderly, the sick, and orphans.

After the Altmünster Abbey was destroyed in 1543, the Neumünster Abbey was built in Grund. Over the centuries, its buildings have also served as a prison, and today they house a cultural and meeting center.

Alzette Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

This viaduct is an impressive example of how historic structures can be given a modern makeover. The successful renovation gives it a fresh, contemporary look without losing its original charm. Particularly noteworthy is the fantastic view over the valley that can be enjoyed from here – a true delight for all those who appreciate nature and impressive architecture.

Bock Casemates

Highlight • Historical Site

In 963, Count Sigefroi had a castle built on the Bock rock, which laid the foundation for what would later become the city of Luxembourg. In the mid-18th century, the Austrians began to expand the casemates of the Bock rock. These impressive defensive structures provide a fascinating insight into the sophisticated fortress architecture that earned Luxembourg the nickname "Gibraltar of the North".

Grand Ducal Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

The Grand Ducal Palace, the city residence of the Grand Ducal family, is located
in the middle of the old town district.
The site of the current palace was once the site of the first town hall of the city of Luxembourg, whose origins date back to 1418. After the town hall was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion in 1554, it was rebuilt 20 years later.
In 1741, the stone railing of the balcony was replaced by a wrought iron railing,
which still exists today. In the mid-18th century, the building was extended on the right side with a baroque-style building known as the "City Weigh House".
In 1890, the Chamber of Deputies was built on the right side of the palace.
Since 1890, the main building has served as the Grand Ducal Palace.
The palace was extensively restored from 1992 to 1995.

Today we were in the city of Luxembourg and walked the AP 1 there. We set off straight from the train station. The official starting point is at the "Gelle Fra". Beautiful tour in wonderful weather. You can of course extend the tour individually from there, which is definitely recommended if you don't already know the very beautiful city. Greetings …
