In 963, Count Sigefroi had a castle built on the Bock rock, which laid the foundation for what would later become the city of Luxembourg. In the mid-18th century, the Austrians began to expand the casemates of the Bock rock. These impressive defensive structures provide a fascinating insight into the sophisticated fortress architecture that earned Luxembourg the nickname "Gibraltar of the North".

The casemates of the city of Luxembourg are caves and passages carved out of the rock, which were built for defense purposes from the 17th century and were originally part of the Luxembourg fortress.
