Neumünster Abbey
Neimenster

The abbey now serves as a cultural hub and the complex includes a church, a courtyard, and several buildings.

In the Grund neighbourhood of Luxembourg City there lies a former Benedictine abbey called Neumünster Abbey. Abbot Jean-Népomucène Hermann, who had escaped the Echternach Abbey during the Thirty Years' War, founded it in 1688. The abbey was built on the site of a brewery and distillery, which were destroyed by fire in 1684. The Neumünster Abbey served as the heart of Luxembourg's religious and cultural life for many years. One of the most beautiful churches in the nation, the abbey church was constructed in the Baroque style. With a library and a school of theology, the abbey served as a place of study.

The abbey was taken over by the French government in 1794 and converted into a jail during the French Revolution. The abbey served a variety of functions following the revolution, including those of a hospital, a barracks, and a school. The monastery was transformed into a cultural hub in 1997 and is currently utilised for performances, exhibits, and other occasions.

Many structures make up the complex, some of which are from the 17th century. There are numerous cafes and restaurants on the property, and the courtyard is a well-liked location for outdoor gatherings. Visitors are welcome to tour the church and the surrounding structures.
