The philosophy of a restoration<br />
Following some 10 years of impeccable restoration and renovation, <strong>Neumünster</strong> Abbey has been open to the public since May 2004 as a mo<strong>de</strong>rn multifunctional meeting centre housed<br />
in ancient walls, following the maxim “Giving a Future to our Past”. The historic and architectural heritage, reflecting a history of change over the centuries, <strong>de</strong>man<strong>de</strong>d a sensitive<br />
approach to the architectural implementation of this project. The unique theatrical character of this building ensemble from differing eras is preserved and harmoniously presented<br />
through the addition of new elements.<br />
Set in a picturesque location in the Grund, one of three lower suburbs of the Luxembourg capital, the Abbey contains a wi<strong>de</strong> variety of historically significant features. It lies on the<br />
banks of the river Alzette surroun<strong>de</strong>d by a quarter rich in history, the fortification remains of which are entered in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
