LUXEMBOURG: Clervaux town
Clervaux is a small town, set in the narrow valley of the river Klierf and surrounded by wood covered hills.
The Family of Man, a famous exhibit of photos collected by Edward Steichen, is on permanent display at the Castle of Clervaux. The castle was built in the 12th century.
The Clervaux castle now houses the offices of the local government, the reception of the Syndicat d'Initiative (local Tourist Office), a collection of models of Luxembourg's old fortified castles, and a small war museum exhibiting weapons and souvenirs from the 1944-1945 Ardennes offensive (Battle of the Bulge).
Several walking trails have origin and end in or near Clervaux.

Top 10 places to visit in Luxembourg -- country and city
| Luxembourg is a small, but really nice country with a population of just 500,000. If you travel by car it will take just 2-3 days to see all major sights of interest. The country's official languages are German and French, but people generally speak French most often.
Clervaux (Luxembourg)
Een bezoek aan het prachtige plaatsje Clervaux in Luxemburg. Het kleine plaatsje ligt in een prachtig dal ingesloten en is vanaf een uitzichtpunt op de doorgaande weg te bekijken. Het heeft 4600 inwoners. Het Kasteel van Clervaux is gedateerd in de 12e eeuw en de 17e eeuw. In het kasteel is een klein oorlogsmuseum gevestigd. Ook is hier de permanente fototentoonstelling The Family of Man, van Edward Steichen. Deze tentoonstelling is reeds in 1955 geopend in het Museum of Modern Art in New York en is sinds 1964 in Clervaux te zien. Sinds 2003 staat hij op de Memory of the world lijst van UNESCO. Het plaatsje heeft zwaar te lijden gehad in de tweede wereldoorlog. Het kasteel is daarna dan ook weer herbouwd. De kerk is van ongeveer 1910.
