The Luxembourg Rotondes are two roundhouses built in 1875. Buildings have a diameter of 52m and are covered.
They were used as parking and service place as well as repair workshop for steam locomotives.
After the steam train era, one roundhouse was used as storage building, the other as bus repair shop.
In 1985, the roundhouses were classified as protected historic buildings.
Between 2001 and 2006, they restored the buildings and transformed them into a cultural center.
