At the dawn of a reign marked by commitment
3 October 2025 marks a historic date for our country: after a reign defined by respect and dedication, His Royal Highness Grand Duke Henri passed the torch to his eldest son. On the eve of his 44th birthday, His Royal Highness Grand Duke Guillaume took the oath before the Chamber of Deputies, thus becoming Luxembourg’s new Head of State.
For more than two decades, Grand Duke Guillaume has prepared for this responsibility with seriousness and commitment. As Hereditary Grand Duke and later as the Grand Duke’s
‘Lieutenant-Représentant’, he carried out numerous economic missions around the world, enhancing Luxembourg’s visibility and forging valuable connections for our future.
His experience within the Council of State and his involvement in national institutions reflect his desire to deeply understand the challenges of our society. But beyond his official duties, Grand Duke Guillaume also embodies values of closeness and humanity.
Guided from a young age by a love of nature and a sense of community, he became involved in scouting, and in 2019 was appointed Chief Scout of Luxembourg. His international involvement in the movement, notably as head of the ‘World Scout Foundation’, reflects his commitment to youth and education.
In 2012, Grand Duke Guillaume married Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy, in a deeply emotional moment shared by the entire country. Together, they form a united and committed couple, parents to two young princes, Charles and François, who are growing up with curiosity and kindness. The new Grand Ducal couple is actively involved in Luxembourg’s cultural, social, and artisanal life. Their warm presence and attentive listening make them approachable figures, oriented toward the future while honouring traditions.

Crypto stamp 3.0 – Artemis 2025
Legends meet crypto stamps – Heroes of mythology
Artemis, goddess of the hunt and nature, adorns the Luxembourg crypto stamp and honours the richness and diversity of Luxembourg‘s landscapes and forests.
In Greek mythology Artemis was also the protector of animals, virgins and women in childbirth. As the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo, she embodies independence and female strength. Whilst in earlier representations she was primarily associated with the hunt and protection, over time she also became connected with the moon.

Dove of peace
United for Peace – One Stitch at a Time
We all wish to live in peace and yet we are often surrounded by conflict – in ourselves and our communities, or at the global level. An international initiative is now sending a specific signal with the embroidered “Dove of Peace” stamp, to strengthen awareness of peace and solidarity.
POST Philately is one of the ten international postal administrations (Aland, Armenia, Austria, Barbados, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Greenland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland) to have created an extraordinary stamp together with the United Nations (UN), Universal Postal Union (UPU) and Austrian embroidery manufacturer Hämmerle & Vogel GmbH & Co KG. This stamp is not made of paper but has been artistically created from thread.
The presentation of a dove – as the universal symbol of peace, hope and understanding – was chosen in order to send a clear message across national borders.
As well as being a limited collector’s item, the stamp has a symbolic purpose: It serves as a reminder that peace is not self-evident, and that it requires constant effort and personal commitment – mirroring the patience and care that has gone into each embroidered stamp.
The “Dove of Peace” stamp is intended to send a simple but powerful message – peace begins with the small gestures made by each of us. And with its motif and message, the stamp binds people together across national borders.

SEPAC 2025 – HÔTEL DES POSTES
A reflection of Luxembourg’s architectural history
Architecture is the theme of this year’s SEPAC edition, with its focus on the architectural history of member countries.
POST Philately has chosen the
Hôtel des Postes in Luxembourg City as its motif. This building served as the head office of POST Luxembourg for over a hundred years – until 2017 – and is currently being converted into a hotel.
After the Prussian garrison left the city, the post office initially moved into their former barracks at
beim Piquet – at the top of what is today
Rue Aldringen – in 1869. However, the building soon proved inadequate for its purpose.
A new post office – today’s
Hôtel des Postes – was therefore erected between 1908 and 1910, based on the plans of architect Sosthène Weis. Located on a newly chosen site on
Rue Aldringen, the building soon became one of the city’s landmarks and housed Luxembourg’s main post office until 2017.
The
Hôtel des Postes is an exceptional example of French Neo-Renaissance architecture in Luxembourg. It combines modern construction technology with traditional stone facing, with stone from Luxembourg quarries used for the visible parts of the building. With its harmonious proportions, the majestic yet unpretentious facade is decorated with sculptural ornaments and figurative elements. Renowned Luxembourg sculptors Pierre Federspiel, Jean Mich, Claus Cito and J.-B. Wercollier were commissioned to design them.
The
Hôtel des Postes has been a listed building since 2018 and is located in an area protected by UNESCO. The current renovation highlights the artistic and architectural qualities of the building.

Stamp Day 2025: Industry, art and culture
Industry, art and culture
The
Cercle Philatélique Rodange celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2025. As the host of Stamp Day (
Journée du Timbre), the club wishes to use the occasion to invite both philatelists and members of the wider public to Rodange – a village of Pétange in the south of Luxembourg – where they will find exhibitions, special philatelic products and much more.
To mark Stamp Day 2025, the organisers have chosen an artwork that stands alongside the sports stadium in Rodange as the motif – one that certainly deserves greater attention.
Since 2020, Rodange has been the site of the imposing “Rail Owl” sculpture by artist Bettina Scholl-Sabbatini. The seven-metre-high owl is made from steel rail sections produced in Rodange. Each of the owl’s “feathers” is made from this material, creating an impressive contrast between art and industry.
The sculpture is a tribute to the local steel industry, which was of major importance to the region’s development for decades. The strength and resistance of the material reflects appreciation for the past and, at the same time, the willingness to face new challenges. A “golden” egg is suspended within the owl’s breast. The egg symbolises new life and growth, while the golden colour evokes special opportunities and good fortune.
