The Church of the Redeemer in Schengen was first mentioned in 1608 as a chapel. When Schengen was granted parish status in 1807, the chapel became a church and was subsequently enlarged in 1870. Completely destroyed by fire in 1947, the church was rebuilt in its present form from 1949 to 1950 according to plans by Etienne Galowich.
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 Saint-Quirin chapel, founded in the 14th century, is a chapel dedicated to Quirin de Neuss. Of the current building, only the Gothic façade is original, dated 1355. The roof and bell tower were added in the 19th century. The water from the spring near the chapel is reputed to have healing properties.
Saint-Jean-du-Grund is a church from the very beginning of the 18th century, which once belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Münster. The interior contains a baroque choir, a beautiful 18th century organ and, in one of the chapels, a black Madonna and Child, carved around 1360, which is the object of great veneration.
