A trip back in time
Three of the museums in the region are located in Echternach. Not far away, in Rosport, the Tudor Museum is dedicated to electricity. Henri Owen Tudor was the inventor of lead-acid batteries.
The most famous museum in Echternach is the Abbey Museum, where facsimiles of the beautiful manuscripts made by the Benedictine monks in the Abbey can be seen. Just next to it, in the Basilica, the Documentation Centre informs visitors about the world-famous Hopping Procession of Echternach belonging to UNESCO’S Intangible Cultural Heritage. At the lake of Echternach, you can visit the remains of a Roman villa, discovered in 1975 as well as the museum on the life of the Romans.
