This week, on 26 September, Luxembourg celebrates 🇱🇺Luxembourgish (Lëtzebuergesch), the national language and one of the country's three official languages, alongside 🇫🇷French and 🇩🇪German.

“Seejomes. Gromperekichelcher. Deckelsmouk. Muckef**k.”
There are some words you can only truly appreciate in Luxembourgish, a language rich in history, character and expressions that are uniquely its own!👏

Spoken by hundreds of thousands of people in the Grand Duchy and beyond, Lëtzebuergesch is much more than a means of communication. It is an important part of Luxembourg's identity, culture and everyday life.

Alles Guddes fir den Dag vun der Lëtzebuerger Sprooch!

Ambassador Joanne Olivier was delighted to visit Fort Berlaimont and Fort Royal, two fascinating elements of Luxembourg’s historic fortress system.🇱🇺

A sincere thank you to Patrick Schaul, Jeannot Nies and the team of the Frënn vun der Festungsgeschicht Lëtzebuerg (FFGL) for this exceptional tour and for sharing their extensive knowledge of the city’s military and architectural heritage. 👏

Hidden beneath the capital lies a remarkable world of underground passages, fortifications and defensive structures that tell the story of Luxembourg’s strategic importance over several centuries, a reminder of Luxembourg’s past as the famed “Gibraltar of the North”. Exploring these lesser-known sites offered a unique perspective on how successive generations shaped and adapted the city’s defences. ⏳

Originally developed as part of Luxembourg’s vast defensive system, Fort Berlaimont dates back to the 17th century and was later adapted by successive rulers, including Vauban, the Austrians and the Prussians. Along with Fort Royal and the surrounding casemates, it forms part of the extraordinary fortress heritage that has earned Luxembourg City its UNESCO World Heritage status.📣

A fascinating journey into a hidden chapter of Luxembourg’s history, and a wonderful reminder of preserving and sharing this unique heritage.
