Museums

Old Church of Saint Laurence

In the old quarter that you will discover within the setting of old time houses, the jewel of the town, the old "Church of St. Laurence". Classified as an historical monument, the old "Church of St. Laurence" was erected on the remains of an important roman villa. A pre-roman church has been constructed approximately in the VIth/VIIth century AC, on the vestiges of an enormous roman hall (10 m x 16 m).

During centuries the church has been subject to many transformations. In 1467 it has been enlarged on the north side and was given two aisles which dislocated its center. The churches width amounts to 12 meters. The gothic arches as though as the gothic windows and the fresco were also built in this period

National Museum of Military History

The NMMH museum is dedicated to the history of Luxembourg's armed forces since the creation of Luxembourg as a state, until present. The key topic of the museum remains the balanced and objective historical representation of the military operations in the Ardennes. Over 3000 square meters of exhibition space and numerous lifesize impressive dioramas offer an insight to the dramatic and tragic situations that both soldiers and civilians were caught in. The museum's core piece is doubtlessly the detailed mock-up of the night-time Sauer river crossing at Diekirch on January 18, 1945 by units of the 5th U.S. Infanty division.

National Museum for Historical Vehicles

The National Museum for Historical Vehicles is unique in Luxembourg. It shows the history of automobiles and the motorised transport in general, from the end of the nineteenth century. The former Jean Wagner car factory, which holds the collection, is a predestinated location for the museum, due to its architectural and technical heritage that dates back to the beginning of Luxembourg's automobile history. In addition to the exposition, you can also find archives, a specialised shop, a cafeteria and an equipped conference room.
