Since 1803, Clervaux has been the seat of a parish and deanery. Previously, the town belonged ecclesiastically to Munshausen. The first parish church was located on what is now the market square on Groβgasse. From 1910 to 1912, it was replaced by the current church, built in the Neo-Romanesque style according to plans by Johannes Franziskus Klomp. The same architect also designed the buildings of the Benedictine abbey. The building is constructed of slate, blending harmoniously into the Oeslingen landscape. The veneration of the two martyrs Cosmas and Damian likely dates back to the influence of the Diocese of Liège, to which Clervaux belonged until the French Revolution. Around 1700, Count Albert de Lannoy received relics of these saints from Rome. They are still kept in the church today. The mosaics on the tympanum above the main portal refer to the patronage of these saints over the church.

The slate mountain ridge paths are technically easy to do. For convenience and safety, walking sticks are useful.

The path runs over a ridge of rock. It's something special! I went in the best weather, i.e. sunny but not hot.

The parish church was built in 1910-1911 in Rhenish-Romanesque style and rises on the high rock. In addition to the beautiful twin towers and the particularly melodious carillon, the interior of the church has many attractions to offer, including original works of art by the well-known Aachen church sculptor Lambert Piedboeuf.
