LUXATLAS – The first digital and interactive historical Luxembourg town atlas

Imagine that you could travel into the city of Luxembourg’s past, at the touch of a screen. This experience is now possible, thanks to the Luxatlas.lu website, developed by the VILLUX project. This University of Luxembourg project, co-financed by the City of Luxembourg, provides an interactive digital tool that traces the history of the city of Luxembourg and illustrates the stages of its development over the last 200 years.
