About this city

Also known as: America's Luxembourg Home

Located in Ozaukee County along the western coast of Lake Michigan, Belgium is a charming, close-knit village with the highest concentration of Luxembourgish immigrants and descendants in the United States. Settled in the 1840s by Luxembourgish agricultural pioneers, the community has fiercely preserved its unique European heritage, featured prominently in its traditional stone architecture and community customs. Surrounded by pristine rolling farmland and adjacent to the breathtaking coastal ecosystems of Harrington Beach State Park, Belgium blends rich trans-Atlantic cultural roots with serene lakeside natural beauty.
