EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical charm of Luxembourg's Old Quarter, specifically the Bock and Church of Saint John in Grund. The Bock, also known as Bockfiels, is a natural promontory located in the north-eastern corner of Luxembourg City. Dating back to ancient times, this rocky outcrop has served as a strategic natural fortification and a symbol of the city's rich history. The photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a stunning view of the Bock's rugged cliffs and the winding Alzette River below. In the foreground, the spire of the Church of Saint John rises majestically from the picturesque Grund quarter. This Romanesque-style church, with its distinctive red-tiled roof and intricate stonework, has stood the test of time and remains an integral part of Luxembourg's architectural heritage. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the narrow, cobblestone streets and hidden corners of this enchanting European city. The Bock's imposing presence and the Church of Saint John's serene beauty make for a captivating contrast, highlighting the unique blend of natural and man-made wonders that define Luxembourg's Old Quarter.
