The best museums Wiltz

In addition to the Battle of the Bulge Museum, Wiltz Castle houses four beer and tannery-related establishments within its walls, all of which can be accessed with a single ticket.

National Museum of Brewing Art.

Created in 1999, this is the first beer museum in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is located in the former stables of the castle. The exhibits not only give an insight into the 6,000-year history of beer production, but also document the exciting development of the art of brewing in Luxembourg. On the ground floor, the most important steps in the production of beer are explained (crushing of malt, filtration, fermentation, etc.).

Musée de la Tannerie.

This museum gives an idea of the importance of the tannery for the town, whose leather work dates back to 1644. In 1887, Wiltz had 28 tanneries, the last of which, the Ideal, the most important luxury leather factory in Western Europe, closed in 1961.

Micro-Brewery.

Installed in 2000, this part of the museum works in conjunction with the Simon brewery. Its role is mainly educational in order to give an overview of the different production cycles, but it can still produce up to 50 litres of beer. It is one of the smallest breweries in the world.

Jhang Primus Coffee. End your visit with a beer in this charming café, decorated with objects from various regional cafés that are now closed.

This museum, installed in the grounds of Wiltz Castle, is dedicated to the Battle of the Bulge from 16 December 1944 to 21 January 1945 and to the sacrifices made to regain freedom, particularly during the Von Rundtstett Offensive but also during the 1942 strike. You will be able to see American and German weapons, uniforms, documents, as well as numerous photographs and paintings, complemented by maps showing the front lines.
