Getting to Grevenmacher by public transport

Do you enjoy quirky museums that take you back in time by combining a fun visit with learning about long-forgotten skills? Then the "Luxembourg museum of the printing press and playing cards" is the place for you. The museum’s permanent exhibition about playing cards will take you through the history of the old playing card manufacturing company founded by the Dieudonné family, who lived in Grevenmacher for five generations. This exhibition retraces this family’s adventures from 1754 to 1880, through various interactive activities for the young and the young and heart. The second exhibition, “Gutenberg Revisited”, offers a detailed history of printing, from the third millennium BC all the way to the 21st century. You can also discover an impressive collection of historic printing presses. After your tour, you can even try your hand at printing and take home a memento. Free guided tours are available in several languages, and a wide range of workshops complete the programme.

The replica of the old ‘Kundel’ washhouse, which stood at the entrance to the ruelle de la Tour, the only washhouse inside the town wall, was built in 2009 on the initiative of the Syndicat d'Initiative in a barn belonging to the local authority. In a small gallery on the first floor, you can find information about the finds made during the excavations carried out from 2003 onwards in the Baxeras dykes.

In 2013, the town of Grevenmacher created the ‘Turgaass’ open-air gallery in the ‘Turgaass’, which bordered the town wall and is located next to the replica of the ‘Kundel’. Here, visitors can learn interesting facts about Grevenmacher's historic past on six large, illustrated panels. The fortress wall was a square measuring 280 by 250 metres. There were 27 or 28 towers and four gates in the wall. The fortress tower still stands in the centre today. In 1252, Count Henry V of Luxembourg presented the village of Machern with a charter of freedom. Various conditions were attached to this freedom. In 1357, Duke Wenceslas I granted Grevenmacher the right to organise a weekly market, which contributed greatly to the economic upswing of the small town. In November 1822, 147 houses, around 80 stables and 39 barns burned down in Grevenmacher. The cause of the fire was a pig that had been secretly slaughtered and scorched in Syrgasse the day before.

The old castle tower , which has been the belfry of the Parish Church, dedicated to St. Laurent (since 1782), is worth a visit. The former watchtower and fortresstower (26m high with walls 1,50 - 1,80m thick), was originately surrounded by a moat and is situated right in the centre of the old fortress.

A massive cross above the high altar is the centrepiece of the Sainte-Croix chapel, built in 1737. Three Stations of the Cross (1627, 1875 and 1956) are known to run alongside the path. In 1956, Mont Sainte-Croix and its chapel were declared Monument aux Morts (War Memorial) for the town of Grevenmacher. Since 2015, the site has been listed as a national monument.
