クレヴォー州周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Since 1803, Clervaux has been the seat of a parish and deanery. Previously, the town belonged ecclesiastically to Munshausen. The first parish church was located on what is now the market square on Groβgasse. From 1910 to 1912, it was replaced by the current church, built in the Neo-Romanesque style according to plans by Johannes Franziskus Klomp. The same architect also designed the buildings of the Benedictine abbey. The building is constructed of slate, blending harmoniously into the Oeslingen landscape. The veneration of the two martyrs Cosmas and Damian likely dates back to the influence of the Diocese of Liège, to which Clervaux belonged until the French Revolution. Around 1700, Count Albert de Lannoy received relics of these saints from Rome. They are still kept in the church today. The mosaics on the tympanum above the main portal refer to the patronage of these saints over the church.

Pretty small town, plenty to do in summer

With centuries of history and majestic architecture, the Benedictine Abbey of Clervaux invites you to immerse yourself in the past. This place, full of charm and significance, opens its doors to visitors for daily morning mass. The Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Maurice, with its red roofs, dominates the town of Clervaux. Built in 1909/1910 in the Neo-Romanesque style, it was inhabited by the Benedictines of the French Abbey of St-Maur de Glanfeuil. Today, the abbey, which is not open to visitors, has approximately 12 monks. An interesting exhibition in the crypt showcases monastic life, and daily morning mass at 10:00 a.m. in the abbey church offers the opportunity to listen to the monks' Gregorian chants. The adjacent souvenir shop sells books and art objects, as well as homemade apple juice made on-site. Check the website for opening hours abbaye-clervaux.lu
