About this work
View of the Grund at dawn, the quarter located in the valley below the centre of Luxembourg City on the banks of the Alzette river with the Neimënster Abbey in the foreground. After the original Benedictine abbey on the Altmünster Plateau was destroyed in 1542, the monks began building a new abbey or "Neumünster" in 1606. In 1618, a marble tomb was constructed to house the bones of John the Blind. The Abbey was destroyed in 1684 during the Siege of Luxembourg. The Abbey began to rebuild on the same site in 1688 and extended in 1720.
