The impressive Willibrordus Basilica is considered the most important religious monument in the country. Erected in the 11th century, it was rebuilt in the original Romanesque style after being badly damaged during World War II. A source attracts many pilgrims who wish to cure their illnesses (including eczema).

This impressive basilica is an intermediate destination on the Way of St. James when - coming from Cologne, for example - crosses the southern Eifel in the direction of Trier. Viewed on the map, it is of course a detour, a Luxembourg branch, so to speak, but the shortest distance between two places has not always counted for the pilgrimage route, but significant sanctuaries along the way were also important intermediate destinations. This basilica in Echternach contains the bones of Saint Willibrord in the crypt.
