Holiday illuminated houses attract many visitors this time of year, and we bring you a list of some of the homes you can visit around Luxembourg.
Some people love them, some find them tacky, others criticize the environmental impact of the large energy consumption, but one thing is true: there is a great deal of effort from these home owners in bringing some light and joy to their neighbours and visitors.
Here are a few highlights in and around Luxembourg:
Illuminated Windows of the Residents of the Commune de Koerich
A local initiative by the commune of Koerich (Kaerch) where residents of the commune illuminate their windows and show them to the public.
A lovely idea to get everyone in the holiday spirit!
