Church of Saint Jacques, Roodt-sur-Syre

The new village church of Roodt an der Syr is one of the youngest sacral buildings in Luxembourg. The foundation stone was laid in 1976 on the garden grounds of the Schmit siblings, and the completed church was consecrated on October 8, 1978. The bell tower stands separate from the church building and seems to go to the visitors by a few steps.

The paintings are by Ignaz Millim, an immigrant from Moravia. They have been restored several times.

Church of Saint-Michael

The church of Saint-Michael was founded in 987 as the chapel of the castle of the Count of Luxembourg. Destroyed and rebuilt many times, the appearance of the present church owes much to its reconstruction in the 17th century, including the construction of the present tower (1648). The church has a beautiful listed organ dating from 1609.
