The Malakoff Tower in the city of Luxembourg was built in 1861 and stands in a narrow bend on Rue Jules Wilhelm, in the immediate vicinity of Rue Malakoff, between the Clausen district and Fort Thüngen up to the Kirchberg plateau.
Another Malakoff tower in Luxembourg is a lonely mushroom-shaped rock on the Müllerthal Trail. The name was given to it by Dutch soldiers stationed in Echternach in the mid-19th century in memory of its strategic importance in the Crimean War (1853–1856).

Tower built by the Prussians in 1861. You can ride it easily on the way to MUDAM on the pavé / stones curve. It was one one the last fortifications to be built before the Treaty of London which required them to be dismantled. The architectural styling of the tower is similar to that of the three towers of Fort Thüngen. The tower was apparently used as a tollhouse.
