Saint Pancras Church - Husseren-Les-Châteaux

Highlight • Other

The Church of Saint-Pancrace, built in 1884–1885 according to plans by the architect Constant Felder, stands on the site of a former medieval sacred building. The site, enlarged and reclaimed for the construction, houses a 19th-century neo-Gothic building oriented along a southwest-northeast axis. It features a covered nave, a porch tower, and a choir with cross-ribbed vaulting. Two stained-glass windows were donated by the bishop.

Damen Sessel Forest Trail

Highlight • Trail

The way to the 3 castle ruins is sometimes a bit steep, but very easy to walk on. Especially in the high heat during our stay at the end of July 2019, hiking in the forest was very pleasant. From time to time banks invite you to rest.
Water should not be forgotten! There is no way to stop at least on the way to the Trois Chateaux.
There are all nationalities represented - and here in the country one greets each other even though one does not know each other or does not speak the language :) That used to be commonplace - but seems to be getting more and more out of fashion ... :(
