In the footsteps of Governor Mansfeld through the suburb of Clausen
After Luxembourg City was besieged by the French in 1543, parts of Ville Haute and Clausen lay in ruins. The total destruction of these areas, however, enabled their reconstruction for entirely new purposes. Count von Mansfeld, the governor of Luxembourg City, purchased lands in Clausen, Fetschenhof and Weimershof. In 1564, he began with the construction of his new residence, "La Fontaine", in the valley outside the city's walls. A large, imposing building was built at the entrance to his estate. At the time, it included a brewery. Today, it houses the "Brasserie Mansfeld" restaurant.
Dive into the past on this walking tour using augmented reality. Go back in time to experience the Mansfeld castle and estate using virtual reality, learning interesting facts and information. And the fun bonus quiz is a great way to test and expand your knowledge.
