About Cessange district
First mentioned in 1083
It may be Luxembourg’s largest district in terms of the area it covers, but Cessange, in the south-west of the capital, is a peaceful, tranquil part of the capital. Hardly surprising, given only 11 percent of the district has been built on!
Cessange is first mentioned in a document from 1083, in which Conrad I, Count of Luxembourg, signed over a country house, including stables and barns, to Altmünster Abbey. Cessange, known as Zéisseng in Luxembourgish, has always been a sparsely populated area, ever since records began. And in around 1681, when the French army under Louis XIV attempted to conquer the fortified city, it is likely there was no one living in Cessange.
