Things to see and do Koerich

In the Miecher forest, several ruins of a Gallo-Roman farm have been uncovered and are being beautifully restored. Built in the 1st century AD, the estate extended over no less than 5 hectares and was bounded by a rampart. At least seven stone buildings were present on the site. It was probably occupied until the end of the 4th century. Numerous signs give indications about the site and life at the time.

In Baroque style, the Church of Saint Remi has three phases of construction according to the principles of religious reforms initiated by the Council of Trent (1727, 1748 and 1791). Inside there is a beautiful polychrome oak furniture dating back to 1755, a 16th century pietà, a beautiful high altar and some funerary monuments. In the centre we can admire the altarpiece and the iconographic representation of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Several concerts are organized in this church, under the name of "Koerich Concerts".

Koerich Castle stands out for its imposing keep, its outer walls forming an almost perfect square, and its enchanting setting alongside Koerich's Baroque church and old houses.

Construction of the castle was undertaken in the late ^12th and early ^13th centuries by Lord Wiric of Koerich. The keep, also known as the "Hexenturm" (witches' tower), is an impressive example of late Romanesque architecture. Although only 11 meters high today, its original height is estimated at 25 to 30 meters. A spiral staircase built into the walls linked the various floors. Gothic modifications were made in the ^14th century, including the construction of a Gothic dwelling and two rectangular towers on the south façade. Today, only the southwest tower, housing the chapel dedicated to Saint Michael, remains. Over the centuries, it has also undergone Renaissance-style alterations, and in 1728, the southern wing was transformed into a Baroque building.

From the second half of the ^18th century onwards, Koerich Castle lost its seigniorial residency and its condition deteriorated. Since its classification as a historic monument in 1938, it has been the property of the Luxembourg state. It hosts the "Koerich Concerts", organized by the Käercher Schlassfrënn and the Jeunesses Musicales du Luxembourg. The decanal church offers exceptional acoustics for these concerts, creating a magical musical experience.
