Echternach: Basilique St Willibrord Echternach: Basilique St Willibrord No Data

Description


The church, and attached abbey dominate the rest of the town. It contains the remains of the founder of the Abbey. The Abbey was founded in 698 by St Willibrord, an Anglo-Saxon missionary who came to the area from the North East of England (no one seams to be able to agree on whether it was Yorkshire or Northumbria he came from!)
