Notre-Dame Cathedral is Luxembourg's national cathedral and the seat of the Archbishop of Luxembourg, built between 1613 and 1621 by the Jesuits as a church for their college (now the National Library), before being elevated to cathedral status in 1870. Its late Gothic architecture carries Renaissance and Baroque additions from later expansions, and its crypt holds the burial vaults of the Grand Ducal family.
