Villa Louvigny, National monument in Municipal Park, Luxembourg
Villa Louvigny sits in Luxembourg City's Municipal Park and displays balanced architecture with symmetrical side wings and a central entrance pavilion. The building was originally designed as a broadcasting facility and contains multiple spaces for music production and recording.
The building was constructed in 1920 on the grounds of the former Louvigny fortress and was named after Count Jean Charles de Landas, the fortress engineer. After its completion, it became a center for radio transmission across Europe.
The building served as the broadcasting hub for Radio Luxembourg, a station that reached listeners across much of Europe for many decades. People tuned in to hear music and programs transmitted from this location to their homes and radios.
The site is located directly in the Municipal Park and is easily accessible on foot. The building is currently undergoing a major renovation that will transform it into a cultural and event venue with halls and studios.
The building hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 1962 and 1966, making it a venue for this major European musical event. The halls were specifically used for these international broadcasts.
