A historic district with a strong character
Clausen appeals above all through its old architecture and its unusual atmosphere.
The district has a long brewing tradition and still bears many traces of its past. The remains of the Count of Mansfeld's estate are among the area's main heritage features.
This historic dimension is matched by a contemporary atmosphere around the Rives de Clausen, known for their restaurants, bars and nightspots.
The result is a district with two faces: lively in places and much more peaceful along the Alzette or in its small residential streets.
Schools and family life
Because of its small size, Clausen has fewer schools within its own boundaries than Luxembourg's large family districts.
Residents nevertheless benefit from the immediate proximity of the city centre and neighbouring districts, where many schools and childcare facilities are within reach.
Walks along the Alzette and the green spaces also provide a pleasant setting for residents.
Shops, restaurants and services
Clausen is best known for its restaurants and nightspots.
The Rives de Clausen are one of Luxembourg's best-known nightlife hubs. For everyday shops and services, the proximity of the city centre and the Grund provides quick access to a much wider offer.
Transport and mobility
Clausen is served by public transport and has connections to the city centre and Kirchberg.
Ville-Haute can also be reached on foot thanks to the various paths and routes linking the valley to the surrounding plateaus.
The tram does not run directly through the district but remains accessible from the centre and neighbouring areas.
The proximity of Kirchberg is also a major advantage for those working at the European institutions or the companies based on the plateau.
Heritage and setting
The district is strongly marked by the Mansfeld estate, whose remains and park recall Clausen's historical importance.
The banks of the Alzette and the small green spaces provide a pleasant contrast with the bustle of the restaurants and bars.
Property in Clausen
The property offer is relatively limited because of the district's small size.
It mainly consists of apartments in historic or renovated buildings, a few houses and projects integrated into an older setting.
Clausen particularly appeals to buyers looking for a central, original home with a real identity.
Living in Clausen
Choosing Clausen means choosing a historic, central and lively district, very different from Luxembourg's traditional residential areas.
Clausen in a few words: historic, lively, unusual, central, cosmopolitan and full of character.
