Beggen (German pronunciation: [ˈbɛɡn̩]; Luxembourgish pronunciation: [ˈbæɡən] ⓘ) is a district in northern Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. As of 31 December 2025[update], the district has a population of 3,844 inhabitants.[2]
The district is the location of the 19th century Château de Beggen, built on the ruins of a former 18th century paper mill. In the 20th century, the château has served, successively, as the home of the director general of Luxembourg's notable steel company, ARBED, a base for both occupying Wehrmacht forces and, later, the liberating US troops during the Second World War, a hotel, an embassy of the Soviet Union, and currently, the embassy of the Russian Federation in Luxembourg.[3]
Beggen is home to FC Avenir Beggen, a historically successful football club that has struggled in the last years and now plays at level 3 in the Luxembourg football league.[citation needed]
