Luxembourg, Luxembourg: Notre-Dame Cathedral

Here's a look at the only cathedral in Luxembourg. It dates all the way back to 1613, when the cornerstone was put in place.

It was originally run by the Jesuits, and earned the name Church of Our Lady early in the 1800s. Pope Pius IX elevated it to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in 1870.

Some members of Luxembourg royalty were place in the crypt here. The cemetery contains the National Monument to the Resistance and Deportation. 

A fire did some damage to a tower in 1985, but some fast repair work had it up to date later in that year.
