A former fourteen-sided polygonal keep of the counts of Luxembourg, built in the 11th–12th centuries, the Tour aux Puces owes its name to a corruption of the Luxembourgish 'Peetzturm'. Reopened in 2001 after restoration, it houses Thionville's museum of archaeology and history, from prehistory to the Renaissance, across eight themed rooms.
