From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

François-Xavier Wurth-Paquet (16 April 1801 – 4 February 1885) was a Luxembourgian politician, jurist, and archaeologist. He served in the cabinet of Charles-Mathias Simons as Administrator-General for Justice for three years. He later sat in the Council of State, of which he was President from 1870 until 1871.

Wurth-Pacquet was the founding President of Luxembourg's Archaeological Association, the forerunner of the Historical Section of the Grand Ducal Institute. He held that office from 1845 until 1853, when he entered government, and again from 1876 until his death in 1885.
