European Archaeology Days – Discover Luxembourg's buried heritage

A rare chance to uncover Luxembourg's ancient past during a day dedicated to archaeology and historical treasures across the region.

European Archaeology Days – Discover Luxembourg's buried heritage

On 19 September 2026, Luxembourg joins the European Archaeology Days, a continent-wide event opening archaeological sites, museums and excavation projects to the public. It's an opportunity to explore Roman, medieval and prehistoric remains scattered across the area.

Belgian Gaume and neighbouring Luxembourg share a rich archaeological past: Roman villas, ancient trade routes, burial grounds. These days typically feature guided tours, children's workshops and demonstrations of ancient techniques. Expect a family-friendly, educational atmosphere.

If you're staying in Gaume, take the chance to visit the Gaumais Museum in Virton or the archaeological sites around Torgny. Wear sturdy shoes and check opening times beforehand, as programmes vary between participating locations.
