The most beautiful religious buildings Grevenmacher

Since 1782, the belfry has served as the bell tower of the decanal church of Saint-Laurent. The old watchtower dates from the 12th century. It is 26 m high and the thickness of its walls varies from 1.50 to 1.80 m. It is located exactly in the middle of the old fortified enclosure. The nave, erected by the Cistercian abbey of Clairefontaine (in 1782), has undergone several transformations and renovations, in 1927-1928 by the architect Joseph Jentgen and in 1981 by the architect Jean Petit.

Nestled on a hill overlooking the old town, this church is a beautiful jewel combining baroque and rococo, erected between 1761 and 1764, thanks to the will of the Benedictines of Echternach and according to the plans of Paul Mungenast. The interior is worth seeing for its remarkable Louis XV baroque furniture as well as the trompe l'oeil painting by Jean-Georges Weiser, a Bohemian native who was received bourgeois of the city of Luxembourg in 1740. Admire also the rocaille-style flesh, the organ, the carved balcony and the stained glass windows.

This charming baroque church was built at the end of the 18th century, between 1772 and 1774 to be precise. It has a magnificent altar dating from the end of the 17th century and beautiful, remarkably well-preserved frescoes. Like many other pieces, the organ, whose case was built at the end of the 16th and 18th centuries, comes from the noble convent of Marienthal. The church also houses the gravestones of the Lords of Linster. The plans, inspired by those of the Trinity Church in Luxembourg, are attributed to Paul Mungenast of Echternach.

Symbol of the city, the Holy Cross Chapel has watched over the inhabitants of the city since 1737. The majestic stone cross placed in the apse is its centrepiece. The building that can be admired today was built - or rebuilt - in 1737, as indicated on the stone above the entrance door. Three Stations of the Cross (1627, 1875 and 1956) along the way are known. In 1956, the Holy Cross Mountain and its chapel were declared Monument to the Dead of the Town of Grevenmacher. Since 2015, the complex has been classified as a national monument.
