Our last event at Luxembourg House in 2024. See the album for more photos.
An evening with the people who make our Luxembourg dual citizen community what it is. Share Luxembourgish beers, wine and canapés with fellow dual citizens, people who are just starting their citizenship applications, and all five members of the LuxCitizenship team. We'll also raise a toast to a milestone we hit along the way: over 3,200 of our clients have now fully obtained proof of their Luxembourg dual citizenship, with another 300+ on the way.
Refreshments are provided in partnership with the Luxembourg American Chamber of Commerce (LACC). The whole LuxCitizenship team thanks the Consulate General of Luxembourg and the LACC for helping make this celebration possible.

Our party takes place at 17 Beekman Place, known as Luxembourg House. The building is owned by the Government of Luxembourg and is home to the Consulate General of Luxembourg in New York, the Permanent Mission of Luxembourg to the United Nations and the Luxembourg Trade and Investment Office. It sits a few blocks from United Nations headquarters.
New to all this? A consulate general is a country's official office in a major city abroad. This is where Luxembourgish citizens living in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont come to apply for their Luxembourg passports. The Consul General, Luc Decker, is the senior diplomat who represents Luxembourg in this part of the United States, a role much like an ambassador's but for a region rather than a whole country.
The house has a story of its own. Built in 1932 in a neighborhood that was once home to families like the Vanderbilts and the Morgans, it was designed by architect Harold Sterner for James Forrestal, who later became the first US Secretary of Defense. The composer Irving Berlin, best known for “White Christmas”, owned it after him. The Luxembourg government bought the property in 1990, and it has been a center of Luxembourg's presence in the United States ever since.
