The Liaison Office in Luxembourg organises conferences, political debates, thematic exhibitions, information sessions for groups or in an entertaining way for the youngest members of the public.

The remains of these Roman baths were discovered in 1973. Unfortunately, they offer little to see and contain no historical indications. Restoration work has shown that the vicus on which Mamer is now established was reduced to ashes during the Germanic incursions in 275 and 276. If you are interested in the Gallo-Roman ruins, don't miss the Gallo-Roman kiln from the 4th century, which was part of an important tile factory in Capellen.

As the living memory of Luxembourg's printed heritage, the National Library collects all publications printed and edited in Luxembourg. It purchases publications that relate to Luxembourg or whose author is Luxembourgish and which are published abroad. This means that more than 1.8 million printed documents, covering all disciplines, are made available to the public free of charge. But also e-journals, e-books and databases.

This building, which was part of the old ironworks, was in ruins and its silhouette reminded one of a watchtower, hence the name. Renovated in 2004, it now houses a reception centre for the environment as well as the offices of the local forestry officer and the national headquarters of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), an international NGO whose label is used to promote the sustainable use of forests. The centre is the starting point for educational trails and organizes various outdoor activities. It also plays a role in raising awareness of nature.

In the Miecher forest, several ruins of a Gallo-Roman farm have been uncovered and are being beautifully restored. Built in the 1st century AD, the estate extended over no less than 5 hectares and was bounded by a rampart. At least seven stone buildings were present on the site. It was probably occupied until the end of the 4th century. Numerous signs give indications about the site and life at the time.

Mersch houses, in a small building in the centre of the Rue des Romains, the foundations of a Gallo-Roman villa with a very well preserved hypocaust (an underfloor heating system). The site was partially excavated in 1905-1906, by the state architect C. Arendt. About 20 metres away, there are traces of what was once a monumental basin, 6 m wide and 75 m long. This basin, once made of stone,is today largely covered by grass. The drainage channel channelled the excess water back into the Mamer.
