Travel Guide Sierck-Les-Bains

A true gateway to France, at the crossroads of Germany and Luxembourg, Sierck-les-Bains is easy to get to. Its name is due to the presence of a spa in the 19th century. This former city of the Dukes of Lorraine is steeped in history. It is first and foremost a place where people lived: the town center was home to tanners, clothiers, butchers, merchants and bourgeois... These commercial and craft activities breathed new life into the architecture of Sierck-les-Bains' alleyways. Highlights include Place du Marché, Rue du Moulin, Rue des Tanneurs, Place Jeanne-d'Arc and La Chancellerie.Next, discover Sierck-les-Bains as a fortified town. It is organized around its castle and protected by a city wall. Many elements of the fortifications are open to the public. These include the Horloge tower, the Quai des Ducs de Lorraine, the Porte de Trèves, the Tour des Grilles and the Château des Ducs de Lorraine.Finally, for the more spiritual, Sierck-les-Bains has a religious soul: churches, chapels, Jewish cemeteries, a supposed apparition of Christ whose shape can be guessed from the famous "stain" on the facade of one of the town's buildings... Not forgetting the parish church of the Nativity, the Récollets convent, the Jewish cemeteries and the Marienfloss chapel.Sierck-les-Bains is a village that combines a little history, thanks to the charm of its shops and activities, with a great deal of history, thanks to its architecture that bears witness to a rich past and heritage.
