Built in 1920 on a site that before had been the Louvigny fort of the oldfortress of Luxembourg, it was named after Jean Charles de Landas, Count of Louvigny, who was chief engineer and interim governor of the fortress in the 1670s.[1] The building was rented to theCompagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion, who eventually bought the building in 1936.
