Differdange (Luxembourgish: Déifferdeng) is a town and municipality in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It belongs to the canton of Esch-sur-Alzette and is located in the south of Luxembourg in the border triangle with Belgium and France. With almost 28,000 inhabitants Differdange is the third largest city in the country. The municipality is proud of its multiculturalism – over 110 nationalities make up more than 50 percent of the population.
Differdange is a former industrial town that was home to much of Luxembourg’s steel production. While it remains an industrial center today, the city has established itself in new areas such as the creative industries (1535° Creative Hub), higher education (LUNEX) and modern sports institutions (Sportfabrick).
The city offers a rich cultural life and is surrounded by stunning forests and nature reserves. Notable landmarks include the Maison de Soins, an ancient Cistercian abbey dating back to 1235 and the Differdange Castle (1577), located on a hill in the center of the town, which is now home to Miami University’s Dolibois European Center, the university’s European campus.
