Echternach is a commune with city status in the canton of Echternach. It lies near the border with Germany, and is the oldest town in Luxembourg. It grew around the walls of the Abbey of Echternach, which was founded in 698 by St. Willibrord, an English monk from Ripon, Northumbria (in present-day North Yorkshire, England), who became the first bishop of Utrecht and worked to christianize the Frisians.
