Clervaux Castle
Highlight • Castle
Destroyed to ruins on December 17, 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, the castle was purchased by the Luxembourg state and completely restored.
Since the 1970s, the castle has been home to several institutions, including several excellent museums and exhibitions:
The Museum of the Battle of the Bulge was opened in 1974, the west wing of the castle houses the Museum of Scale Models of Luxembourg Castles, and the wing houses the famous photographic exhibition "The Family of Man", a World Heritage Site of the UNESCO state.

Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, Clervaux
Highlight • Religious Site
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.
