Musée Dräi Eechelen
Located within the restored 18th-century Fort Thüngen, this museum documents the history of Luxembourg from 1443 to 1903. Visitors go here to understand the evolution of the city's fortifications and its political history through a series of chronological exhibits housed in a former military stronghold.
