Church of Saint Hubertus, Lontzen

The Saint Hubertus Church, centrally located in the village, was built according to the bold plans of architect J. Moretti. Between 1906 and 1908, the interior was decorated with art-deco murals inspired by Romanesque Byzantine art. It was completely restored in 2013.

Saint Catherine from Siena, Astenet

This shrine dedicated to Saint Catherine of Siena, "Doctor of the Church", was inaugurated in 1985 and continues to enjoy a particular popular devotion. The initiative for this chapel was taken by Jean Wintgens, who was fascinated by the saint's personality.

The building deviates from the traditional design of a closed building but is open to the outside, inspired by the campo of Siena. It is a polygonal building with a crypt, an inward sloping roof with an open atrium in the middle and a small fountain dedicated to the saint in the centre. A relic of the saint was donated by the archbishop of Siena.
