The Convent of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Cinqfontaines was built in 1906 according to the designs of the German architect Johannes Klomp.

This place is unfortunately known as the only Luxembourg internment camp for Jews during World War II. From 1941 the religious community was expelled by the occupier. The monastery became a gathering place for Jews. It was the last station before deportation to the eastern concentration camps. By June 1943, more than 300 Jews were temporarily accommodated in this monastery. In 1969 a memorial monument was inaugurated.

In 1944, the American military converted the monastery into a field hospital. After the war it regained its original purpose before becoming a retreat and center of reflection in 1973. For several years, the monastery has once again been home to a religious community.

The former monastery keeps alive the memory of the large number of Jews murdered in the Third Reich.
