Blast Furnace Belval

Description

Our own little Eiffel Tower

Luxembourg’s version of the Iron Lady, these towers symbolise the cultural richness of the Terres Rouges. Witnesses of an era that transformed the country and played a major role in its economic emergence and the lives of its inhabitants, the Belval Blast Furnaces have left their mark Luxembourg’s history and the landscape.

This site is the pinnacle of the region’s identity and fascinating history. The closure of the country’s last remaining blast furnace in 1997 marked the end of an era. It was time to turn the page, this transition made room for new technology in the future. The fact that Belval is such a growing and flourishing place today is largely thanks to its magnificent past. Discover this history with projections and a visit to the various sites.

You can step inside blast furnace A, visit the cast house, walk along the cooling system and end your visit with a breath-taking view of the city. Guided tours are also available to help visitors better understand how this massive machine works. Listed in the Supplementary Inventory of National Sites and Monuments since 2000, the Belval Blast Furnaces won’t fail to surprise you.
