About This Sacred Site
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Luxembourg, also known as the Jesuit Church, was originally built in 1613-1621 by the Jesuits and elevated to cathedral status in 1870. The building harmoniously blends late Gothic architecture with Renaissance elements and Baroque furnishings. The crypt houses the tomb of John the Blind, the revered King of Bohemia and Count of Luxembourg, and the cathedral is the site of the annual Octave pilgrimage honoring the Comforter of the Afflicted.
