Midday courses: The imprint of the architect, Charles Arendt in the city of Luxembourg
We invite you to discover the fascinating figure of Charles Arendt, the first State Architect of Luxembourg, born in Vianden in 1825. Arendt distinguished himself not only through his architectural achievements but also through his commitment to heritage preservation. Passionate about history, he enriched national archaeological collections and disseminated his research and discoveries through numerous writings, speeches, and conferences as an active member of several learned societies. His work in the city of Luxembourg showcases a personality deeply inclined towards modernity, concerned with architectural heritage, and engaged in forming a national identity narrative for which the neo-Gothic style seemed most appropriate. Join us to explore his work and legacy during this midday course.
