Tucked away in the peaceful village of Senningen, not far from Luxembourg City, lies a small but fascinating museum that will delight both kids and grown-ups: the Firefighter Museum of Senningen.
Housed in a building with its own story — it was once a dairy before becoming a fire station — the museum offers a charming journey through the history of firefighting in Luxembourg. But this is not just a place to look — it’s a place to experience!
The museum is only open by appointment, making every visit a personal and unique moment. Your guide will most likely be Pierrot Reding, a former member of the Senningen Fire Brigade. With warmth and humor, Pierrot shares anecdotes and stories that bring the museum to life.
While the exhibition features a rich collection of firefighter uniforms, tools, and historic gear, children are especially welcome here. They can play with toy fire trucks, explore a fireman’s world up close, and feel like little heroes in a setting that sparks imagination.
From the preserved fire engine to the vintage helmets and the hand-crafted models, every corner of this museum tells a story — not only about firefighting, but about community, courage, and Luxembourgish heritage.
Whether you’re visiting Luxembourg with your family or simply curious about local history, this museum is a heartwarming stop that deserves more recognition.
A Royal Honor for the Museum
On May 14, 2025, the village square « Place Grand-Duc Henri » in Senningen was ceremoniously inaugurated in the presence of Grand Duke Henri himself.
It was a great honor for the Firefighter Museum, as Gilbert Sauber took the opportunity to guide Grand Duke Henri and Minister Martine Hansen through the small museum. The Grand Duke was delighted by the many treasures he discovered inside, making it a memorable and proud moment for the entire village.
