City Hall

Saarburg

This two-storey shale quarry stone building was erected in 1906. Its well-presented middle section reflects the self-confidence of the bourgeoisie at the beginning of the 20th century. The municipal coat of arms of Saarburg is located in the arch portal. A glockenspiel from the Mabilon bell foundry rings out every half and full hour. Today’s Fruchtmarkt (Fruit market) on the opposite side was the former site of the prime gate to the city, called „die Purt“ (the gate).

Saarburg's Little Venice

Saarburg

The bridge “Auf dem Graben” offers a wonderful view of the small bridges spanning the Leukbach and the Buttermarkt (Butter market). The narrow rowed houses along the Leukbach have been resting on mighty oak poles for centuries. Originally, the Leuk used to flow around the city, feeding fish ponds and castle trenches of the “Saarburg”. In the 13th century, people forced the Leuk into a new bed without further ado in order to have sufficient extinguishing water in case of any fires.

Parish Church of St.Laurentius

Saarburg

A small cross chapel existed here as early as the 13th century, which was granted the right of baptism in 1370. Following several reconstructions, a new church was built in 1854, in the neo-Gothic style. The three-nave church was heavily damaged in 1944 and was rebuilt simplistically after the war; during this process, parts of the neo-Gothic style could be preserved. The interior of the church impresses with the “Grape Madonna” (around 1500), the baptismal font of stone (1575) as well as the stained-glass windows (1855).
