About Mont Saint-Jean
Mont Saint-Jean is a mountain. Location: Dudelange, Esch-sur-Alzette. Elevation: 417 m.
Mont St. Jean (Luxembourgish: Gehaansbierg, German: Johannisberg) is a hill, castle, and religious site in the commune of Dudelange, in southern Luxembourg. The summit is at 417 metres (1,368 ft).
