About
Notre-Dame Cathedral stands in Luxembourg City, on Rue Notre Dame, in the heart of the Grund's neighbourhood of the old town. Also known as the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Luxembourg, it serves as the national cathedral of Luxembourg, so a visit here is as much about the country's public life as about architecture.
What to look for
- Distinctive spires that mark the building from across the city.
- Stained glass windows, which are among the cathedral's most admired features, especially when the light comes through them.
- Its Gothic Revival style, a reminder that the building belongs to a later revival of medieval forms rather than to the medieval period itself.
Planning a visit
The cathedral works well as a stop in a walk through the city, pairing naturally with the surrounding streets and the views the old town offers. Because it is an active church and the national cathedral, visitors are best to approach it with a quiet, respectful manner and to check the practical details before going. For questions about visiting, the cathedral can be reached by telephone at +352 46 20 23.
Whether you come for the windows, the spires or simply to see a place that matters to Luxembourg, the cathedral makes a focused and rewarding visit within a longer day in the city.
