The Basilica of St Willibrord is the church of Echternach Abbey, founded by the missionary Willibrord in 698. The Romanesque church consecrated in 1031 was blown up in December 1944 and rebuilt in its original style, being reconsecrated in 1953. Its Carolingian crypt holds Willibrord's tomb, the goal of the dancing procession held every Whit Tuesday.
The Roman villa of Echternach lies in the parkland by Echternach lake. Built around AD 70 and lived in until the 5th century, this palatial country house had marble-clad walls, mosaics, baths and underfloor heating. Its foundations, uncovered in 1975 when the lake was dug, can be walked through, with a Roman kitchen garden and a visitor centre with models.
