The Walls of the Corniche
Luxembourg City's magnificent Walls of the Corniche (Chemin de la Corniche) have been dubbed "the most beautiful balcony in Europe," towering over the old city in the river valley below. The large Gate of the Grund, which dates from 1632, is located here. This place is home to numerous aristocratic refuges and houses, as well as an ancient Dominican convent and St. Michael's church (AD 987).
The church and the medieval Abbey of Neumünster, noted for its 17th-century Limoges cloister, an organ dating from 1720, and a 14th-century "black virgin," are located in the Grund area. The adjacent structures are part of the old Hospice St.-Jean, which was constructed in 1309 by Emperor Henri VII, Count of Luxembourg.
