Esch-sur-Sûre Essentials

Esch-sur-Sûre is defined by its dramatic position within a sharp meander of the Sûre River. This selection highlights the 10th-century castle ruins overlooking the town and the 47-meter high Barrage d'Esch-sur-Sûre, which created Luxembourg's largest reservoir. The list includes the Upper Sûre Lake—a hub for water sports—alongside historical landmarks like the Chapelle Sainte-Cunégonde and the Burfelt forest discovery center, showcasing the region's blend of industrial engineering and medieval architecture.
