About Minett Park Fond-de-Gras

Minett Park Fond-de-Gras is a heritage and activity site located in Differdange and Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg. The park interprets the history of iron ore mining at Fond-de-Gras and offers a diverse programme of guided tours, creative workshops, seasonal events and outdoor experiences. Visitors can join guided tours in English and in Luxembourgish to explore preserved industrial buildings such as the grocery store and the power station, learn about miners’ lives and the transport of ore, and understand the region’s mining landscape.

The site presents specialist workshops, including the linocut printmaking workshop led by artist Damien Giudice, where participants progress from sketch to final print and take home an original piece. Storytelling walks such as the Balade Contée “Moments Magiques” combine guided narration with scenic trails, while the Balade Photo-Gras offers practical photography sessions across varied landscapes. The park also runs mountain bike outings and hosts seasonal events listed under Festival vapeur and the Train de la Saint Nicolas, the latter organised with volunteers and featuring a decorated train shed and activities for children.

Minett Park Fond-de-Gras uses guided interpretation, preserved infrastructure and organised programming to present local mining heritage alongside cultural and outdoor activities. Information about languages offered on visits, event formats and named contributors (for example, artist-led workshops) helps visitors plan a relevant visit. The combination of on-site interpretation, workshops and community-run events positions the park as a focal destination for heritage learning and family-friendly outdoor experiences in southern Luxembourg.
