What to buy here: Landscape paintings.
With its dramatic architecture and geography, Luxembourg has long provided inspiration for artists. In the early 1900s, the country produced its best landscape painters. Franz Seimetz (1858-1934), the first Luxembourgish Impressionist, produced more than a thousand paintings over his successful career. Joseph Kutter (1894-1941), influenced by Flemish Expressionism, was a founding member of the Luxembourg Secession Movement who exhibited a famous dark-toned painting of Luxembourg City at the 1937 World Exposition in Paris. Co-founder Nico Klopp (1894-1930), who lived in Remich, painted many cheerful and bright scenes of the Moselle, which flows alongside the town. Another contemporary is Sosthène Weis, who painted over 5,000 watercolours. He travelled all over the country to capture the varied landscape in his light and dreamy post-Impressionist style.

Luxembourg Introduction Walking Tour
The capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is known as Luxembourg City. The Romans had built small forts here that guarded two roads that passed through. But it was Count Seigfried in 963 who began the town by building a castle on the Bock promontory. A small church followed on the site of present day St. Michael’s Church. Soon a community sprang up along the Roman road.
