About Notre-Dame Cathedral
The Cathedral is open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM from Monday to Saturday and from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Sunday.
The Cathedral can get somewhat crowded during holidays, so we recommend visiting outside of the tourist season in July and August and religious holidays, and preferably on weekday mornings. It is advisable to check if there is service in the church in advance.
The Notre-Dame Cathedral, originally a Jesuit church, had its first cornerstone laid in 1613. It received the name Notre-Dame in 1848. When Luxembourg was elevated to a bishopric by Pope Pius IX in 1870, the Notre-Dame Church upgraded to the status of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
A predominantly Gothic structure, the Cathedral also includes Renaissance-style ornaments in its design, while its interior features Baroque and neo-Gothic elements. It has been enlarged over the years, and two of its three towers were added in 1935-38 while the original Jesuit-built tower contains the bells. A few of the bells and part of the roof were destroyed in the fire of 1985, but restoration took place the same year. Not just a historical monument and a tourist attraction, the Cathedral is also a functioning place of worship.
Highlights of the church include:
- the statue of patron saint of Luxembourg, Our Lady Consolatrix Afflictorum
- stained-glass windows with religious imagery, dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries using the techniques from the Middle Ages
- the rooftop: climb up the narrow spiral staircase and enjoy the best views of the city
- the crypt: guarded by two bronze lion statues, this is the final resting place of the local bishops, and all Catholic Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses of Luxembourg, including John the Blind (1296-1346), King of Bohemia and Count of Luxembourg
- the cemetery of the church featuring the National Monument to the Resistance and to the Deportation, which includes a bronze monument The Political Prisoner by the Luxembourgish sculptor Lucien Wercollier
