The Saint-Morand parish church in Balschwiller dates from 1848. After being severely damaged and destroyed by fire on 22 June 1915, it was rebuilt after the war and reopened for worship in 1926. Its portal gable features a triglyph frieze and is supported by two fluted Doric columns. In the nave, the Mont des Oliviers sculpture group stands against the south wall; it consists of four painted, polychrome wooden statues.
