Description
Up until the 19th century, Buschrodt formed part of the parish of Wahl. However, by 1570, the locality already had its own chapel, dedicated to Saint Lawrence.
The parish of Buschrodt was established in 1837. In 1846, the Diekirch architect Pierre Biver (1823-1871), drew up the plans for a church, though it was only constructed in1854. In 1877, Nicolas Adames, the first Bishop of Luxembourg, consecrated the church, which was dedicated to Saint Denis.
By the middle of the 20th century, the vaulting had become dilapidated and was replaced by a ceiling of wooden beams. At the same time the wall paintings were removed.
