Things to see and do Septfontaines

The Château de Septfontaines, built at the end of the 11th century, is now private property. The baroque gate dates from the 13th century and a Gothic part was added around 1400. The bridge over the entrance and the large square tower date from 1600. The predominant location of the castle at that time allowed it to watch over the entire Eisch Valley.This castle should not be confused with the seigneurial residence of the Boch brothers, located only a few minutes from the centre of Luxembourg, which dates from the 18th century.

This church was built by Thomas de Septfontaines and was consecrated in 1317. The central tower, older, is in Romanesque style, but the choir and the southern apsidiole are in Gothic style. Inside the building, a beautiful monumental stone tomb from the 17th century comes from a hermitage in the area. One can also admire an 18th century pietà. The cemetery that surrounds the church contains beautiful stelae, which were made by a renowned craftsman of the village, and tombstones richly decorated with signs and symbols.
