Eglise+St.+Michel

Eglise St. Michel (St. Michael’s Church) is a Roman Catholic church. It replaces the oldest religious site in Luxembourg City, originally built as a chapel in 987 for the Count of Luxembourg. Over the course of time, it has been destroyed and reconstructed. The current church dates back to 1688.

In the current church, you’ll find a combination of Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic architectural style, combining elements of different time periods. The outside of the church does not seem like much compared to many other churches, but from the inside you can enjoy the beautiful stained glass work. Above one of the church’s doors there is the Coat of Arms of Louis XIV to celebrate the Sun King's sojourn in Luxembourg City.

St. Michael’s has seen recent renovations in the 1960s, 1980s and in 2003-2004. It is located in the Quarter of Ville-Haute in the Fishmarket section.
