Patton Memorial
The Patton Memorial in Ettelbruck is an identical copy of the statue in the park of Westpoint Military Academy. It was erected in memory of American General George S. Patton (1885-1945) whose troops fought in the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944 and 1945.

Petrusse Casements
These military tunnels were formed by hollowing out the rock on which the city of Luxembourg was built. They date back to 1644, the time when Luxembourg was under Spanish rule. The French military engineer Vauban enlarged the Petrusse casements when he captured the city 40 years later.
