The heart of Luxembourg's historic district, Place Guillaume II is known as knuedler, or knot, because of the Franciscan monks that once inhabited a monastery here. The knot in the rope that is part of the monk's attire is called a knuedler. A town hall replaced the monastery in the 19th century and continues to dominate the square's western side. A ring of trees provides shade and frames a tall statue of Grand Duke William II on horseback placed on a pedestal in the center of the square.

This area is often one of the focal point in Luxembourg when it’s comes to events in the city. Which is very often. Luxembourg is a fantastic place for everyone and great efforts are made to make it inclusive to all. This year I’ve come for the Christmas markets and as ever - it’s spectacular

Beautiful place to visit. One of my favourite spot to visit every time as I'm in Luxembourg. Must have to see. If someone like to get walk-sightseeing around the city it is a good point to see for trip around Luxembourg.
