Notre Dame Cathedral

One of the most beautiful historical sites in Luxembourg is the Notre Dame Cathedral. The Catholic cathedral in Luxembourg City, which is located in southern Luxembourg, is called Notre Dame Cathedral. The church's foundation stone was placed in 1613, while it was still a Jesuit church. Luxembourg only has one cathedral.

The church is a notable example of late gothic construction, although it also features a lot of Renaissance details. The miraculous figure of Maria Consolatrix Afflictorum, the nation's and city's patron saint, arrived at the church at the end of the 18th century. The church was dedicated around 50 years later as the Church of Our Lady, and Pope Pius IX elevated it to the status of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in 1870.

The National Monument to the Resistance and to the Deportation is located in the cathedral's graveyard. The Political Prisoner, a well-known bronze sculpture created by Luxembourgish sculptor Lucien Wercollier in the 20th century, serves as the focal point of the memorial. From 1935 to 1938, the cathedral was enlarged and expanded.
