The Grand-Ducal palace is the town home of the Grand Duke and, since 1895, it is also the scene of most official activities. The former Noblemen's room, adorned with portraits of Luxembourg's grand dukes, is used for audiences. The left wing of the palace (16C) sports gracious turrets. The right wing was added in 1741 and the building to its right, finished in 1859, houses the House of Representatives. The guardroom has some beautiful weapons.
