Discover Bertrange

Bertrange offers several distinct ways to plan a stay: architectural history and Roman heritage, a cultural centre with a varied programme, as well as cycling and forest trails. If you choose the destination based on a specific interest, the differences between the buildings, events and routes can help you find your way. This makes it easy to include culture and outdoor activities in your travel plans.

Architectural and local history

Château Schauwenburg was built in several phases. Its east and north wings date from the 16th century, while the section facing the road dates from the 18th century. This means you can see different periods represented in a single building. Château de Colnet d’Huart was built around 1785 by Baron Jacques-Philippe-Joseph d’Huart. By comparison, Schauwenburg is distinguished by its several construction phases, whereas the focus at Colnet d’Huart is on its approximate construction date in the late 18th century.

The parish church of Bertrange makes its own architectural statement: its striking bell tower is 57.64 metres high. This precise measurement makes the tower a clearly identifiable feature of the church and complements the castles with another notable building.

Bertrange’s Roman heritage includes a military road that connected Arlon with Trier via Mamer, Strassen and Oberanven. The route extends local history beyond individual buildings, linking the places named above. A station stood at Tossenberg, where merchants and craftspeople pursued their trades. This adds historic transport, trade and craft connections to the architectural heritage.

Culture and events

ArcA, a cultural centre with a 159-seat auditorium, is located in the centre of Bertrange. Its programme includes concerts, theatre performances, comedy and dance events. ArcA also serves as a music school for people of all ages. For culture lovers, it combines a stage programme with another function focused on music.

Family Day takes place in Bertrange every year. The programme includes games, activities, concerts and workshops, as well as a wide selection of local and international dishes. The menu may vary from one edition to another. If the food options are important to your plans, check the details for the specific edition.

Kiermes Expo adds an art exhibition to the cultural programme. It traditionally takes place during Bertrange’s local fair. If you would like to combine a trip with an event, you can use its connection to the local festival as a guide and check the dates for the relevant edition in advance.

Cycling routes and forest

The DICI Tour is a leisure route for cyclists of all ages and is 38 kilometres long in total. Of this distance, 28 kilometres are closed to motorised traffic. These two figures offer different points of reference: the tour’s total length and the section closed to motorised vehicles.

The Nicolas Franz cycle path (PC 13) can be identified by its route: it follows an old Roman road parallel to Tossebierg (N6) as far as Bertrange. It also connects the Attert cycle path (PC12) with the central circular route (PC1). Unlike the DICI Tour, the focus here is on the Roman road and the connection to two other cycle paths; for the DICI Tour, the key reference points are its length and traffic restrictions.

The Bertrange Auto-Pédestre route is a circular trail through the municipal forest of Ënneschte Bësch. The Ënneschte Bësch nature and forest trail in Leudelange and Bertrange is located in the Ënneschte Bësch integral forest reserve. Both routes share the forest’s name but differ in the features described: the Auto-Pédestre route focuses on the circular trail and municipal forest, while the nature trail is associated with the integral forest reserve. This makes it easy to distinguish between the two forest offerings based on their respective features.
