St Joseph Church

This is the oldest and the most important Catholic church of Esch. St Joseph is also the only one open for visits outside of mass. This imposing structure (more like a cathedral than a church) was built by the Luxembourgish architect Charles Arendt between 1873 and 1877, in a fine neo-gothic style with a sober exterior, which contrasts with a highly decorated interior. Look out for the recently restored frescos, and stained-glass windows which are particularly attractive. Other churches to see are St Henri, Sacré Coeur and Marie-Reine.
