Stunning exteriors from every angle, hard not to keep snapping it as you wander around the outside. Soaring interior with some very good frescoes. Don't miss visiting the "tomb of the princes" in the crypt. More

Beautiful example of late Gothic architecture. The crypt is well worth a visit, especially to view the burial vault of the grand-ducal family. The carillon marks the time throughout the day and can be heard throughout the old city, adding charm and character. More

We were in Luxembourg during the pilgrimage to the cathedral. It was a center of activity with services every hour. Very glad we were able to participate More

We just happened upon this old Church. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to see it unless you make a habit of visiting old churches but if it's on your way, it's quite lovely inside. And free, of course. More

This is the main place of worship for Catholics in the City of Luxembourg - quite some years ago, one of the spires was very badly damaged by a fire, I believe that Prince Charles donated some Oak trees from his estate to the restoration, but I cannot confirm if that is true. The fire is long gone, the restoration... More

I certainly advise a visitor to pass by and take a look, but do not expect to find something extraordinary about it. I liked the underground floor where the tombstones of royalty are kept More

I loved this church most for its unique exterior. It is nice to tour the inside, although you will not find any particular must-sees in there... still a very nice church which adds to the Luxembourg charm. More

Overall it is nice but has no particular features that distinguish it from any other church. Cathedral is maybe a bit over the top for describing this big church. Centrally located it is easy to reach on foot from the train station or the city centre. Nice lighting inside. Also nearby is the Grand Duc palace. Free entrance. More
