New Konschtpark Is A Worthy Addition to Clervaux’s Tourist Attractions

On Thursday 30 July 2026, Chronicle.lu visited the recently inaugurated “Konschtpark” in Clervaux to see how it will benefit both locals in the area and tourists visiting the historic northern town of Luxembourg.

The municipality of Clervaux officially inaugurated the "Konschtpark" (Art Park) on Tuesday 30 June 2026, in the presence of Luxembourg’s Minister for Agriculture, Food and Viticulture, Martine Hansen, Mayor Georges Keipes, members of the municipal council and the various partners who contributed to the project.

The park sits on the southwestern side of the valley surrounding the town and is a 20-minute walk from the local train station, or a ten-minute walk from the town centre.

The new public space is built on the site of the town’s former mini-golf course and, according to the municipality, is “dedicated to relaxation, nature, culture and community life.”  Inspired by the Cittaslow philosophy, it offers visitors a space in which they can relax and observe the area from a natural environment filled with biodiversity and contemporary art.

The high-quality of the craftsmanship and construction of the park is immediately evident when one arrives at its entrance. The choice of materials feel natural, fitting in with the surrounding area and creating the type of welcoming environment the developers were striving for.

The park sits across several levels of the hillside, each featuring dedicated seating and observation areas accessible via a mix of stone, shale and woodchip pathways and staircases. The high quality of workmanship and the suitability of materials is further evident as one moves through the various sections, passing through foliage arches and across wood-decked areas, under the shade of the valley’s tall trees.

The municipality has said environmental sustainability is at the heart of the project and this is evident in the wide variety of flowers and foliage, and in some areas, freshly growing fruit, on display. There are also dedicated habitats for pollinators such as bees, hoverflies and butterflies situated throughout.

Additionally, the park also includes water features in the higher areas, exhibition spaces for artists to display their works and a number of game areas, which include a giant chess set and a wooden marble run (for which marbles can be purchased from a dedicated vending machine at the park’s entrance).

Undeniably, one of the highlights of the park are the spectacular views it offers of the town. Dedicated areas provide premium spots to take in Clervaux Castle and the Church of Saints Côme & Damien, along with the sight of the Saint Maurice Abbey rising up on the western horizon.

As part of the Clervaux – Cité de l’image project, the park is currently hosting the exhibition Whispers of the Sunlit Coast by artist Kim Lang and local creativity is represented by a colourful mural on the park's technical building.

Overall, the park achieves what the municipality set out for. The area, despite being located close to one of the main roads into the town, is calm, quiet and relaxing, and the multi-level design creates a variety of spaces for people to gather or simply enjoy the ambience of the views amongst the biodiversity and artwork on display.

Alongside Clervaux’s other tourist attractions, such as UNESCO’s Family of Man Exhibition and the Museum of the Battle of the Bulge, the Konschtpark is a fine addition to the town and a welcome new green space for both locals and those venturing to northern Luxembourg for the day.
