Villa Vauban

This nineteenth-century townhouse set in a public park is the art museum of Luxembourg City, built on the foundations of a former fortress structure named after the engineer Vauban. Its collection focuses on Dutch, Flemish and French paintings from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, assembled from private bequests to the city. A modern extension wraps around the historic villa, and the gardens hold sculptures and mature trees. The blend of an elegant residence, a landscaped park and a curated collection makes for a tranquil visit.
