A Look into the Past
Built between 1845 and 1852, Trinity Church is an important part of Walferdange’s history and culture. This neoclassical catholic house of worship has been a key gathering place for the local community for generations, reflecting the town’s religious and architectural heritage.
Architectural Highlights
The church’s neoclassical design stands out with two large niches on the front, featuring modern statues of St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Teresa of Lisieux, installed in 1991. These statues by artist Marie-Josée Kerschen blend well with the original structure, showing how the church has evolved over time while keeping its historical charm.
Inside the church, you’ll find impressive works of art, including statues of St. Ignatius and St. Francis Xavier. The side altars originally came from the Luxembourg Cathedral, adding to the church’s historical value. One of the highlights is the wall paintings by Gerhard Lamers from 1903, which were carefully restored in 2011 to preserve their original beauty.
