    A bit of historical past with a rest area 🚵🌳

      Roman temple
      The remains of the extensive Roman sanctuary were discovered in the mid-1950s in the forest above Steinsel and their basic structures were excavated from 1957 to 1961. A walled cult area with a central temple and several outbuildings was uncovered. The sacred area was built in the late 1st century AD as a pilgrimage sanctuary on a hill above the Alzette Valley, which is densely populated with Roman estates. Its heyday is dated to the second half of the 4th century. With the spread of Christianity and the devastation caused by the Germanic invasions in the early 5th century, the sanctuary was abandoned. This and much more about the details of the four buildings excavated so far can be read on site on several information boards in German and French.
