DIEKIRCH NATIONAL CONSERVATORY FOR HISTORICAL VEHICLES The National Conservatory for Historic Vehicles is unique in Luxembourg and is worth the trip the as much for the site (construction style 1900 Art Nouveau) as for its exhibition of splendid vehicles.

The exhibition is renewed on a regular basis, and the old workshops tell the history of the blacksmith, wagon maker and coach maker trades, which were once the pillars of automobile manufacturing. The CNVH also houses the History Museum of the Diekirch brewery. Open all days, except Mondays, from 10 AM to 6 PM.
