This nice little town is located in the center of Luxemburg, at the border of a natural area called "Little Switzerland". urrently the population has reached around 1750 people. A castle, very impressively built on the rocks high above the village, is completing the surroundings. The ruins of Larochette castle are witnesses of the existence of a huge 11th century fortress.  The so-called "Créhange House" has recently been completely restored.

The oldest town in Luxembourg, founded in 698 by St Willibrord, a monk of Irish origin. Situated at 160 meters above sea-level with a population of 5200 inhabitants. Located in the meander and valley of the Sauer and at the centre of the ‘Petite Suisse Luxembourgeoise’, which is part of the German-Luxembourg nature park. 2000 years of prestigious history bear witness to many architectural heritages: the Roman villa with pars urbana, the St. Peter and Paul Church with merovingian, romanesque and gothic styles, the romanesque Basilica with crypt and tomb of St. Willibrord, the Cross of Justice and the gothic Town Hall on the market place, remnants of the ancient town wall with 7 restored medieval towers, the baroque Benedictine Abbey, the Rococo Pavillion in the municipal park, 4 museums, a pedestrian zone, a recreational centre with 60 ha. lake, 70 km of extensive tourist paths for walks through unique wood and rock landscapes. The Spring Procession takes place on Tuesday after Whitsun. The classical music festival has been held in May/June since 1975.

One of the most popular places to visit in Luxembourg is a natural area called "Little Switzerland" or the Mullerthal. The "Schiessentëmpel" a little stone bridge over a small waterfall with three cascades is located in the middle of Luxembourg's Little Switzerland. Close to Berdorf (Only 10 Km from Larochette) there are other rock formations having names like "Predechstühl" (Pulpit, It received it's name due to the over the road hanging part in the shape of a mushroom), "Perekop", "Adlerhorst", "Goldfralay" (35 meters high) or caverns like the "Räuberhöhle", "Eisgrotte" and close to Echternach (Some 22 Km from Larochette) the "Wolfsschlucht" an area of caverns. Most of the areas have lovely tales and stories explaining the names and telling of long forgotten times of heroes, maids, princesses and princes, elves, magicians, ghosts and bogey men who, due to one or the other reason, died here and still protect their lost treasures. or were deemed until eternity with full moon in May-nights to sing exquisite songs to their lover. The Mullerthal and Luxembourg's Little Switzerland are unique areas due to the special humid climate. During the whole year the humidity is close to 100% giving nature the opportunity to produce a unique vegetation you can only find on very few locations in Europe. The Rock formations, left over of the latest Ice Age are part of this fascinating landscapes of curious sandstone rock formations, little winding creeks (The Black Ernz), small water falls, tiny lakes and magnificent forests. Larochette is the ideal place to explore Luxembourg's Little Switzerland and the Mullerthal as it is located just at the west border of this amazing area.

The swimming pool of Larochette is a construction witch can be opened during good weather conditions or closed if the weather do not allow open-air swimming. The Golfplace "Belenhaff" in Junglinster (5 km from Larochette).
