Abbey of Echternach

I stopped here as i passed through town -I think i happened to arrive right as it was opening, I walked in to see, and the place was empty, so i wandered around. -Its a nice big church. there is stairs downstairs to a crypt with tombs and pray areas. -It has a info desk with workers in a side room. -I dont think you pay to enter, but there is a museum of the abby right beside/attached to it, and you have to pay for that. Even though i am not religious, it was a nice place to look around.

Went there as part of guided tour. History is really good. Unfortunately it was raining heavily so wasn't able to enjoy outdoors much. Heard about the possession which happens every year in June.

The Abbey of Echternach, founded in the 7th century by St. Willibrord, is a significant historical and cultural landmark in Luxembourg. Despite extensive restorations, particularly after World War II, the abbey retains its historical charm and continues to attract numerous visitors. The highlight of the abbey's impressive architecture and serene atmosphere. The Basilica of St. Willibrord, part of the abbey complex, is noted for its beautiful stained glass windows and intricate carvings. One reviewer mentioned that the basilica dominates the town of Echternach and is well worth a visit.

Amazing beautiful place, has two museums (one inside and another one outside that you have to pay €3 cash to enter). We managed to park almost immediately outside the front door of the abbey. St Wilibrord’s story is fascinating and brought to life beautifully here.

After a full day of hiking in the part of Luxembourg called "little Switzerland" as well as Mullerthal, we went to visit a small village in this area. During the visit of the city we found an abbey. Large, immense, abbey with not many objects/pictures, but that gives a sense of welcome.

Amazing building. Good wheelchair access. Well worth a visit

Stunning old Abbey with marvellous old architecture and amazing history. The inside of the Abbey is serene and calming and well worth a visit when in town. There’s a free history museum in the Abbey and also don’t miss the underground ancient crypt to truly go back in time!

Echternach is the oldest town in Luxembourg with abbey which was built in 7th century!Had a great time there to visit museum with my boyfriend too.A good chance there to read and learn history of Echternach as well.
