Les incontournables de Clervaux

Clervaux Essentials

Clervaux centers on its 12th-century castle, which houses both the UNESCO-listed ‘Family of Man’ photographic collection and a museum dedicated to the Battle of the Bulge. The town's architectural heritage is defined by the Romanesque-style Saints-Côme-et-Damien church and the 18th-century Loreto Chapel. Nearby, the Robbesscheier open-air museum showcases traditional Ardennes rural life, while the Europa Monument marks the convergence of the Belgian, German, and Luxembourgish borders.
