ARBED Building, Former steel company headquarters in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
The ARBED building is a former steel company headquarters in Luxembourg City featuring a prominent sandstone facade. The complex comprises four wings surrounding a large inner courtyard on Avenue de la Liberté.
The building was completed in 1922 by architects René Théry and Sosthène Weis and served as headquarters for ARBED, a major steel manufacturer. After decades under industrial control, it was later repurposed and now houses the State Saving Bank of Luxembourg.
The entrance portal displays sculptures of Victoria and Mercury, symbolizing the link between Luxembourg's mining industry and economic success. These figures remind visitors of the industrial past that shaped the city.
The building is centrally located on Avenue de la Liberté and easily accessible on foot, with good views of the distinctive sandstone facade from the street. Visitors can admire the architecture and surrounding courtyard from street level, though interior access may be limited.
During World War II, German occupation forces established their command center in one section of this building. This lesser-known aspect of its past reveals how strategically important the structure was to the region.
