Esch-sur-Sûre
Since the 16th century, the village of Esch-sur-Sûre has been known for its weavers’ guilds. In 1807, the foundations of the textile factory were laid. From 1992 to 1995, the old textile machines were restored and today, the visitors can discover the entire process of fabric weaving, from wool to finished fabric.

Indigo is one of the oldest known plant pigments. It has always been in great demand and only a few centuries ago, indigo was worth more than gold.
