Note also the crests around the top of the stonework. |
The steep sided, squared roofs are characteristic
of Central European architecture from the late eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. |
The town square is dominated by this marvellous

Luxembourg is built on a river gorge. It felt
strange to be able to look down onto the roofs of tall houses. |
Imposing clock tower seen from the other side of
the gorge.

A fine house on the main square. Note the sentry
box to the right. |
The War Memorial is a gilded
statue on top of a massive pillar overlooking the gorge.
