Discover the Diekirch brewery

Hundreds of thousands of hectolitres passed through the pipes here, the others now circulating next door in the new brewery. In Diekirch, beer is a tradition - an old and proud tradition, with the brewery dating back to 1871.

In the meantime, the AB InbeV group has taken over, with new buildings springing up over two years and an investment of $25 million ensuring that production of Diekirch beer remains in in its namesake, the town of Diekirch. Bottling is still done in Belgium.

Our photographer Domingos Oliveira explores the old buildings of the brewery in this latest instalment of the hidden sites of Luxembourg.

ABOUT THIS SERIES

In this popular series, RTL photographer Domingos Oliveira takes you to hidden places, lesser known locations and buildings with an interesting story.

1) The first instalment captured the last moment of the agricultural centre in Mersch.

2) We then visited Zenningen Zoo, which was closed in the early 80s. 

3) Our third trip took us to Hesperange's eery swimming pool which now looks like the setting for an apocalyptic film.

4) The fourth photo series targeted the veritable ghost town "Cité Syrdall."

5) We also visited the iconic cinema Ariston in Esch, which opened in 1962 and closed in 2016. The cinema's history is an eventful one - from erotic films to youth theatre.

6) In the sixth instalment, we took a trip down memory lane and revisited pictures of Luxembourg City's former "centre Aldringen," an underground parking lot and cultural hub that gave way to Centre Hamilius.

7) The seventh gallery in the series took us to Luxembourg's former police museum.

8) And in the 8th instalment we got to take a look at a cemetery for old fire engines.

9) The 9th gallery visited the Lentilles Terres Rouges site in Esch.

10) The 10th instalment explored the old ArcelorMittal works in Esch and Schifflange.

11) The 11th photo series resulted in fantastic views of Birtrange Castle.

12) The 12th trip was the Deisermillen mill in Grevenmacher.
