You are now taking the most beautiful balcony in Europe! Just that! The Luxembourgish writer Batty Weber said so.

This small bridge of the old fortification spanning the Alzette allows you to reach the Grund district.

Here you are in the heart of the Grund district, in front of Neumünster Abbey. In 1547, the Benedictine monks transformed the former Saint John’s Hospital into a new abbey, as theirs had just been destroyed.

The monumental gate you see on your left is the Jacob Tower, also called Dinselpuert.

We are now surrounded on three sides by the Alzette. This is the Rham plateau, now accessible to the public after 5 years of restoration work.
