Centre pénitentiaire d'Uerschterhaff, Modern correctional facility in Sanem, Luxembourg

The hexagonal-shaped prison complex encompasses 8.6 hectares of land and contains four Y-shaped buildings designed to accommodate 400 male inmates.

The Luxembourg government initiated the construction of this detention center in 2017 to address overcrowding issues in existing facilities.

The architecture incorporates natural ventilation and outdoor rooftop spaces, reflecting Luxembourg's approach to maintaining dignity in correctional facilities.

The facility features specialized areas including administrative offices, a training institute, visitor spaces, medical center, and sports facilities.

Solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic panels installed on the buildings generate sustainable energy for the entire correctional complex.
