Facts and practical information

Villa Louvigny, nestled in the heart of Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, is a historical building that resonates with musical heritage. Once the headquarters of Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Radiodiffusion (CLR), it has played a significant role in the European music scene, especially known as the venue for the Eurovision Song Contest in the years 1962 and 1966.

This grand structure, surrounded by verdant parkland, was built in the 1920s and exudes the architectural elegance of the era. Villa Louvigny has since been synonymous with cultural sophistication and has hosted numerous concerts and events, making it a premier music venue in the region.

Beyond its role as a music venue, the Villa has had a multifaceted history, including serving as a health retreat. However, it is the melody of the Eurovision Song Contest that truly put Villa Louvigny on the map. The venue witnessed the rise of several international music stars and has been a cornerstone for broadcasting in Luxembourg.
