Culture and history

The Eglise paroissiale Saint-Etienne has been documented since 1211. It was rebuilt in 1522; the tower entrance and the beginning of the nave from this construction phase have been preserved. In 1935, the church was partially listed as a Monument historique.

The Maison d'Art Populaire Alsacien de Patrick Singer also represents the local culture. The private collection is housed in an imposing farm building in Boofzheim and comprises more than 17,000 items. Guided tours are offered for groups and individuals by prior arrangement.

Exploring the area

The Sentier des casemates can be explored independently all year round and is 2.5 kilometres long. Along the route are a casemate that served as a command post, infantry and engineer casemates, an anti-aircraft casemate, and a machine-gun emplacement.
