"Caminhar 200 metros. Está no coração do bairro histórico de Ville Haute e é coloquialmente conhecida como Knuedler, da palavra luxemburguesa para ' nó (referindo-se ao nó do cinto usado pelos frades franciscanos). A praça era originalmente o local de um mosteiro franciscano que em 1797, durante as Guerras Revolucionárias Francesas, foi desapropriado pelos soldados franceses. Em 1804, Napoleão presenteou a cidade com a Place Guillaume II. Em 1829, começou a construção da nova Câmara Municipal e nesse mesmo ano foi concluída a desconstrução do antigo mosteiro. A Câmara Municipal foi concluída em 1838 e foi utilizada pela primeira vez presidida pelo antigo Presidente François Scheffer. Devido à Revolução Belga, a inauguração oficial não pôde ser realizada na altura sendo posteriormente a 15 de julho de 1844 pelo Grão-Duque Guilherme II, assim como a estátua à sua imagem"

"It is one of the main squares in Luxembourg City, the capital of Luxembourg. In the middle of the square you will find a statue of Grand Duke William II, who reigned from 1840 to 1849. You will also find there the City Hall of Luxembourg City, that is a beautiful example of Flemish Renaissance architecture and features a distinctive clock tower."

"One of the main squares in Luxembourg, featuring a statue of Grand Duke William II, former ruler who gives the place its official name. Unofficially, the locals refer to its the Knuedler.
In October 2022 it was under renovation, so not much to see, but you’ll likely pass through - it’s a good central landmark to get your bearings. "
