Musée Dräi Eechelen

Fort Thüngen houses the museum in its restored keep, featuring underground galleries with extensive collections documenting Luxembourg's military engineering and defense systems.

The fort, constructed by Austrians in 1732 and expanded by Prussians in 1836, remained partially intact after the 1867 Treaty of London mandated fortress demolition.

Six hundred artifacts and documents spread across multiple casemates present the progression of Luxembourg from medieval times through the early twentieth century.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Wednesdays, offering audio guides in four languages.

The three rounded turrets that gave the museum its name, Dräi Eechelen, stand as the only preserved elements of the original fortification structure.
