Fort Thüngen, located in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, is a historical fortification that was originally constructed in 1732. Named after its Austrian builder, Baron Adam Sigmund von Thüngen, the fort was part of the city's extensive defensive system. It is colloquially known as "Three Acorns" due to the three acorn-shaped sculptures that adorn its towers. The fort played a significant role in the city's military history and has since been incorporated into the modern-day Dräi Eechelen Museum, which showcases Luxembourg's fortifications and military history.
