Audun-le-Tiche (6,846 inhabitants, 15.43 km2) is located in the middle of a row of valleys washed out by the Alzette and its tributaries in the limestone plateau of the “Pays-Haut”. Relics from the Gallo-Roman period, the Merovingian period as well as from the Middle Ages bear witness to its special history.
In 1748, François Boch produced ceramics in Audun-le-Tiche before opening a second factory in Septfontaines, Luxembourg. For decades, the thriving iron industry contributed to the development of the city’s population.
Next to the library and the Notre-Dame de Lorette Auditorium (a chapel converted into a concert hall) you can find the Andrée Toussaint socio-cultural centre which organises the festival “En Scène”. Paintings by François Ponsin are exhibited in Audun-le-Tiche’s town hall. The Musée de la SAHLA, built on the site of the former church and inaugurated on 4 March 2020, displays archaeological collections.
