Kirchberg, Kierch

In 1982, the olympic swimming pool opened its doors. The striking shell-shaped roofline is reminiscent of a seashell and is made of spans of pre-stressed concrete. The architect Roger Taillibert (1926) has transposed the concept of sporting performance to technical expertise and architectural expression. With the swimming pool extension undertaken by the same architect in 2002, the Centre National Sportif et Culturel ("d'Coque") was created. The sports centre offers an Olympic size swimming pool, but it also provides sports classes such as pilates, zumba, aquafitness or back school. Moreover, it offers its customers 2 fitness rooms and outdoor sports facilities. Exact opening hours under: http://www.coque.lu/en/nos-horaires

A green ribbon of boulevards with avenues and side paths, semi-public parks and gardens, has been created on the Kirchberg plateau following the urban reorganization of the district by architect and landscape gardener Peter Latz. An arboretum containing tree species and rock samples from member states of the European Union is just one of a wide range of areas for living and exploring.

The Konrad Adenauer building in Kirchberg houses the European Parliament's General Secretariat, which is responsible for coordinating legislative work and organising plenary sessions and other meetings. It also provides technical assistance and expertise to parliamentary bodies and MEPs in the exercise of their mandate. Since May 2024, the Konrad Adenauer building has also been home to the Europa Experience visitor centre.
