Lenningen is a rural municipality in the canton of Remich, situated in southeastern Luxembourg within a rolling landscape. The commune primarily consists of the villages of Lenningen and Canach, with the latter being particularly well-known for its significant viticultural traditions in the Moselle region. Historically, the area has been inhabited since Roman times, evidenced by the remains of a Roman villa discovered during archaeological excavations in Canach. The local economy is traditionally shaped by agriculture and wine production, though modern service industries are increasingly gaining ground. The village architecture reflects classic Luxembourgish style, with the 18th-century parish church of Saint Peter and Paul serving as a central landmark. Surrounding nature reserves, such as the Wengertsbierg, provide habitats for rare plant species and emphasize the regional ecological importance.
