Theatre performance: Dem Adam Sigmund von Thüngen seng Festung
16h00 (LU)
Our young audience gets to meet Adam Sigismund von Thüngen, commander of the Luxembourg fortress in the 18th century and namesake of the fort located in the Dräi Eechelen Park, who will reveal exciting details of his personal journey which is closely linked to the development of the fortress and the city.
No booking required.
Outdoor tour - Assault of the Kirchberg (departure from Kirchberg funicular)
15h00 (LU, FR, DE, EN)
Discover two centuries of fortifications: An impressive system of fortifications, almost vanished since the Treaty of London in 1867, defended the Kirchberg and protected the fortress town. The engineer Vauban, who directed the works of the siege in 1684, was commissioned to draw up a project
for reinforcement of the fortress. The museum offers two-hour guided tours of these fortifications. IMPORTANT: Participants should be equipped with suitable clothing, shoes and a torch.
No booking required.
Guided tour of the exhibition Sub Umbra Alarum. Luxembourg, forteresse des Habsbourg 1716-1741
15h00 (FR)
The exhibition highlights the major extension of the fortifications under the new Austrian regime, including the construction of Fort Thüngen in 1732. Imperial troops and their families settled in the Duchy of Luxembourg and left their mark. By following the careers of those who commissioned and carried out the work, the exhibition will shed light on this period, marked by three European wars of succession, during which the fortress played a key strategic role.
