Country characteristics
City of Luxembourg
The capital of the Grand-Duchy was founded in about 963 and is the seat of Government and the official residence of the Grand-Duke. Since the ‘European Community for Coal and Steel’ (ECSC) was created in Luxembourg in 1952, a host of European institutions have settled here, the General Secretariate of the European Parliament, the European Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, the European Bank of Investment and several Directorates of the European Commission, to name but a few.
