Museum Gaspar is housed in the residence of the middle-class family Gaspar from Arlon who had set up in this house (1893) that was built in 1842. It was renovated in 2004. The two most famous members of this family are animal sculptor Jean-Marie Gaspar (1861-1931) and Charles Gaspar (1971-1950) who was a photographer and a sponsor. He gave his house to the town of Arlon on the condition they make a museum of it, dedicated to his brother's work and that put into honour the history and the heritage of Arlon. At the first floor, theree are two restored salons identical to a middle-class salon from the early 20th century that show Jean-Marie Gaspar's sculptures. and the art and picture collection of Charles Gaspar.

It was bought in 1893 by a middle-class family from Arlon, the family Gaspar. Jean Gaspar (1861-1931) was a sculptor. He was trained by the Antwerp sculptor Jef Lambeaux. His works are in bronze and in plaster and they are exhibited in the salons that have been restorated as they were in his house. His brother Charles (1871-1950) was a photographer, a collector and a sponsor. He gave this house to the town of Arlon. It hosts the library of the Archaeological Institute of the Belgian Province of Luxembourg and its secretary office since 1954. A wide part of the museum is also dedicated to temporary exhibitions about art and history of Arlon.

La chapelle Saint-Martin

La chapelle Saint-Martin

The former parish church of Saint-Martin, now a chapel, dominates the village. It comprises a bell tower surmounting a square bay extended by a semicircular apse, flanked on the north and south by two small rectangular transepts. It dates from the 12th century. The transept crossing is vaulted with ogives made of large rounded cornices whose ends, embedded in the walls, end in the shape of a pencil point, which is quite common in Lorraine. Less common is the fact that the arms of the transept have transverse barrel vaults. The apse is cross-vaulted, with decoration added in the 18th century. This combination of different architectural techniques is what makes this building so interesting, and it is listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. When the nave was demolished, the side altars and their altarpieces were moved from the nave to the transepts. The torso columns of the altarpieces are artfully decorated with bunches of grapes and grape leaves. The upper cornice supported statues that are now stored in the new church. The high altar is in wood, painted white with gilding. The present transept windows were added late, probably when the original openings were blocked by 18th-century decoration. The large central arcade has been closed by a glazed metal door. Externally, there are two interesting parts: the tower and the chevet. Above the transept crossing rises a square Romanesque bell tower, lit on each side by geminated openings with colonnettes. It was raised at the end of the Middle Ages to provide refuge from wars and banditry, which explains why a ladder was needed to reach it.
