Gëlle Fra, War memorial in Constitution Square, Luxembourg.
The Gëlle Fra monument features a bronze female figure holding a golden wreath that stands atop a 21-meter granite obelisk in Constitution Square. Inscriptions at the base explain its role as a memorial to those who died in armed conflict.
The monument was built in 1923 to honor Luxembourgers who died in World War I. It was later expanded to include those who fell in World War II, becoming a memorial to both conflicts.
This memorial stands as Luxembourg's center for national remembrance, where people gather to honor those lost in conflict. The female figure with the wreath has become a symbol of mourning and hope for visitors and residents alike.
The memorial is centrally located on Constitution Square and is easily reached on foot from the train station. The plaza is open and accessible from all directions, making it simple to view from multiple angles.
The golden wreath held by the female figure was not part of the original design but was added later to make the memorial more radiant. This enhancement has become one of the most recognizable details that catches visitors' eyes.
