About Mühlenbach district
In the north of Luxembourg City, the district takes its name from the local stream of the same name and the many mills and water wheels that once upon a time adorned its banks.
There is evidence of eleven mills having stood here along the Millebaach, the first of which in operation as far back as the 14th century. Alongside grain mills, there were also paper mills, gypsum mills and tobacco mills, heralding the industrial age.
The stream that gave Mühlenbach its name was canalised in the 1950s and now runs underground, flowing into the Alzette river behind Place Dargent. The district’s present-day church, completed in 1964, stands on the former site of the tobacco mill. It’s no coincidence that St Fiacre is the patron saint of this Catholic church, given he is the patron saint of gardeners. As the soil in Mühlenbach has always been particularly fertile, the area was ripe for market gardens.
