Altmünster Abbey

In this period, the monastery was also put directly under the control of the Pope, so that neither Saint-Vanne nor the secular authorities could interfere with it.

[2] The monastery school later received a monopoly on education in the city of Luxembourg and its catchment area reached up to the County of Bar.

Charles IV revived this tradition and built a monumental tomb here for his father, John of Bohemia.

[3] Before the monastery was destroyed, the abbot Johannes Harder removed all the valuable objects to safety in Trier.

[4] The Benedictines then moved to the Hospice of Saint John, until a new abbey opened in 1606 under the abbot Petrus Roberti, not far from the old one in the Grund area.
