The vibrant centre of Saarburg is lined on both sides of the Leuk by town houses from the 17th to the early 20th century and is a characteristic feature of Saarburg. In the medieval town centre, a ford led through the Leuk. The Schweinsbrücke bridge with a view of Little Venice leads to the main shopping street. The Saartalbahn railway stop is also located here.

The castle at the Saar

Saarburg

The formerly proud and mighty castle, one of the first and most impressive castles (Höhenburgen) in the West, was built by Graf Siegfried von Luxemburg in 964.

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).

The Amüseum at the waterfall

Saarburg

The first mill at the cascade is verifiable as early as 1366. The electoral mill was erected on its remnants and took over a new function as power plant in 1900. Today, the building hosts the Amüseum with an exhibition of the most significant crafts of Saarburg (tanner, bell founder, printer, cobbler and skipper), the oldest but still functional turbine, as well as an art gallery with interesting changing exhibitions.
