Place Guillaume II

The Luxembourg City town square is an open space outdoors ideal for pandemic-safe travel while also showcasing some stunning buildings. The neoclassical town square building from the early 1800s is one of the lovely historical structures that call Place Guillaume II home.

The town plaza known as Place Guillaume II is located in southern Luxembourg City. The square is located in the center of Luxembourg's historic Ville Haute neighborhood to the west of Krautmaart and to the north of Boulevard Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Its vernacular name, Knuedler, comes from the term for "knot" in the Luxembourgish language and alludes to the Franciscan friars' belt tie.

The equestrian monument of the former Grand Duke William II, after whom the square is called, dominates the eastern half of the area while Luxembourg City Hall dominates the western half. Trees surround much of the square, reducing its open space (particularly around the statue).

On the site of what had once been a Franciscan monastery, The Place was constructed after the French Revolution. Anyone who enjoys history - especially those who love learning about it—will be intrigued by the place and the buildings that surround it.
