Monument of the Millennium, Archaeological monument at Bock Promontory, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
The Monument of the Millennium stands at the exact location where archaeologists discovered the foundation walls of Luxembourg's first stronghold during construction in 1963.
The site marks the thousand-year anniversary of Luxembourg City's establishment by Count Siegfried of Ardenne, who built the original castle in 963.
The monument represents a shift in preservation approach, as authorities chose to restore the ancient foundation walls instead of building a new commemorative structure.
Located at Montée de Clausen, the monument integrates with the Bock Plateau and offers visitors direct access to examine the archaeological remains of medieval Luxembourg.
During the initial construction phase, workers unexpectedly uncovered the authentic medieval foundations, leading to a complete revision of the monument's design plans.
