In 963, Count Sigfried built a castle on the Bock Promontory, laying the foundation for the later city of Luxembourg. In the middle of the 18th century, the Austrians began constructing the Bock Casemates, which provided impressive defenses and showcased the formidable fortress machinery that earned the area the nickname “Gibraltar of the North.” The archaeological crypt, serving as an educational antechamber to the casemates, is another highlight of the visit. It’s no surprise that the fortress bulwarks and the old town, both rich in history, are globally renowned. In 1994, they were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. This time luciakontsek took a penguin stone on a business trip and managed to leave it in the ruins. Look for the first tree.
