The Belval site is located in the south of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg near the French border.
The industrial wasteland at Belval is the former site of the Arbed, Luxembourg's steel group which was founded in 1911. When Luxembourg’s last operational blast furnace, blast furnace B, was shut down in 1997, an area of 120 hectares in the western part of the site became available for redevelopment, while the remaining part continues to be a production site for the ArcelorMittal group. Now a part of the site has opened in public since July 4 and people can free access up
to the charging floor at 40 m high (180 steps).
