Three-Year Restoration of Collapsed Castle Wall ConcludesThree-Year Restoration of Collapsed Castle Wall Concludes Luxembourg City – The historic castle wall that collapsed in 2019 has finally been restored after three years of extensive work. The project, which cost an estimated €10 million, involved the reconstruction of over 60 meters of the wall, including its foundations and the iconic turrets. The restoration was carried out by a team of architects, engineers, and historians, who worked meticulously to ensure the authenticity of the reconstruction. Original materials were used wherever possible, and traditional techniques were employed to maintain the wall’s structural integrity and historical character. The collapse of the wall in 2019 was a major blow to Luxembourg City’s cultural heritage. The wall, which dates back to the 14th century, is an integral part of the city’s fortifications and a symbol of its rich past. The restored wall was officially unveiled to the public on Wednesday, with a ceremony attended by Luxembourg’s Prime Minister, Xavier Bettel, and other dignitaries. The event marked the completion of a significant restoration project that has brought a vital piece of Luxembourg’s history back to life. “This wall is more than just a structure,” Bettel said. “It is a testament to the resilience and determination of our people. Its restoration is a symbol of our commitment to preserving our heritage and passing it on to future generations.” The restored wall is now open to visitors, who can explore the reconstructed fortifications and admire the craftsmanship that went into its restoration. The completion of the project is a major milestone for Luxembourg City, and it is expected to attract even more tourists to the historic city.
