Our Dam with Mural
Highlight • Monument
The water level of the lower reservoir fluctuates by 8.5 meters. Early in the morning, after several hours of pumping, its water level is usually the lowest. In the evening, however, the water is high on the dam.

St. Nicholas Chapel
Highlight • Religious Site
Until 1256, Vianden was subordinate to a neighboring community under canon law. In 1248, the Count of Vianden settled Trinitian monks in the upper town, who were the first to build a church within the castle walls of the upper town.
That's how the argument started. On the one hand the newly settled Trinitian monks with their new church and on the other hand the Templar order from the neighboring town, to which Vianden was subject under canon law.
In 1256 the Archbishop of Trier was forced to speak out. He divided the upper and lower towns into two parishes and had the Templars build a church. In defiance of the division, the Templars built the church close to the border with the upper city, which was drawn by the River Our. The Order of the Templars named their church “Capella Militum”, based on the term “Magister Militum” (Master of the Army), to express their claim.
In 1312 the Templar Order was dissolved. The chapel was taken over by the Trinitian monks and the two parishes were reunited. In order to forget the memory of the Templar Order and the division of the parish, they renamed the pretty chapel the St. Nicholas Church.
