guided tour
Charles Arendt (1825–1910) is among the most prominent architects of the 19th century in Luxembourg. As the first state architect, he accompanied the Grand Duchy's transformation towards a constitutional monarchy, contributing decisively to the design of its political, religious, and public buildings. His projects combined function and symbolism: they shaped the authority of the State, created places of faith, and opened up space to a society undergoing modernization.
Between representation and daily life, permanence and renewal, Arendt forged an architectural vocabulary that remains visible in the urban landscape today. The exhibition invites visitors to (re)discover Charles Arendt as the architect of an emerging country, whose buildings embody a time of change and lay the foundation for a living built culture.
