The Grand Ducal Palace, the city residence of the Grand Ducal family, is located
in the middle of the old town district.
The site of the current palace was once the site of the first town hall of the city of Luxembourg, whose origins date back to 1418. After the town hall was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion in 1554, it was rebuilt 20 years later.
In 1741, the stone railing of the balcony was replaced by a wrought iron railing,
which still exists today. In the mid-18th century, the building was extended on the right side with a baroque-style building known as the "City Weigh House".
In 1890, the Chamber of Deputies was built on the right side of the palace.
Since 1890, the main building has served as the Grand Ducal Palace.
The palace was extensively restored from 1992 to 1995.luxembourg-city.com/de/ansicht/monument/grosherzoglicher-palast
