Where is Clervaux?

Clervaux

Clervaux is situated snuggly in the Clerve Valley approximately 60km north of Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. It is a medieval market town surrounded by dense woodlands and situated on the Clerve River. There are two main attractions in Clervaux. The first, the Clervaux Castle, locally known as the ‘Burg Clerf’. It houses the famous exhibition of photos collected by Edward Steichen, called ‘The Family of Man’.

The second, is the Clervaux Church, a Benedictine Abbey of Saint Maurice and St.Maur, built in 1910 in Romanesque-burgundian style. It dominates the valley and town of Clervaux and when you first see it from a distance you get a strong impression of the Abbey. With the valley, hillsides and woodlands, these two buildings make for a fairytale setting.
