Notre-Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg

Notre-Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg

The Notre-Dame Cathedral of Luxembourg was built between 1613 and 1621 in the notable style of late Gothic Revival and is located in the southern part of Luxembourg. Also known as the Church of Our Lady of Luxembourg, it is one of the city's iconic landmarks and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Originally, this Renaissance-style building was not used as a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary but rather as a Jesuit church. Following expansion works carried out between 1935 and 1938, three spired towers were added, transforming it into a church dedicated to the Virgin. The structure of the church’s north portal is a blend of Renaissance art and Baroque styles. The interior is richly adorned, featuring precious alabaster statues at the altar and Arabesque designs carved into the walls and columns.

Behind the cathedral lies the Prime Minister’s Office, surrounded by the headquarters of Luxembourg’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Economy, and Ministry of Finance. These office buildings are not very tall and feature medieval architecture, giving them a quaint yet majestic appearance.
