This former Benedictine abbey dating from the 17th century is a unique cultural and artistic site, combining history, architecture and contemporary creativity. It boasts a spectacular backdrop of cliffs, casemates and the winding Alzette valley. In the past, it consisted of a church and four buildings grouped around an inner courtyard. In the 19thcentury , it was transformed into a military hospital and then, under the responsibility of the Luxembourg state, into a men's prison. Today, it is a cultural meeting place.

The abbey has been magnificently restored, retaining its historic charm while integrating modern elements. Visitors can explore the ancient vaulted halls, peaceful courtyards (complete with designer benches) and verdant gardens, which add a touch of serenity to the whole. Concerts, exhibitions, shows, training courses, ballets, conferences, congresses, corporate or even private parties...: the diversity of its activities is as breathtaking as the venue itself. The site also organizes residency programs for artists from Luxembourg and the Greater Region: apartments, fitted out in former cells, are made available to residents, who are accompanied in the gestation of their artistic project. Finally, it is home to the Council of Europe's Institut des itinéraires culturels and the Institut culturel luxembourgeo-germano-français Pierre Werner. A key venue for culture in the capital, not to be missed!

Beau cadre pour manifestations
Le centre culturel accueille de nombreuses manifestations : le festival des sciences durant notre visite à la Toussaint. Le lieu semble propice à la méditation dès qu'on s'éloigne de la foule. Nombreuses activités culturelles proposées pour tout âge.

Très bel endroit
Pas toujours accessible car accueille concerts, festivals...
Mais si vous avez la chance de visiter, ne pas manquer le magnifique cloître et son jardin, ni la chapelle
Egalement très belles expositions, et tout est gratuit !

Sur la rive droite de l'Alzette, l'abbaye benedictine de Neumunster a été soigeusement restaure. Elle abrite souvent des expos temporaires d'art, des conferences. Il y a aussi une brasserie, ou souvent il y a des gropes de Jazz.
