St. Sebastian Chapel is a listed historical monument (since 1921) and was the former parish church of the vanished village of Oberkirch. It combines a 12th-century Romanesque bell tower with a Gothic nave (dating from 1285). Particularly noteworthy are the Baroque high altar by the Winterhalder brothers (1692) and the Romanesque charnel house on the northeast side. The chapel is situated in the vineyards above Dambach-la-Ville, offering a sweeping panorama across the Rhine plain, and is privately owned by a civic brotherhood of 32 local families.

During the German occupation in World War II, the Scherwiller synagogue was used as a camp for Polish forced laborers. The remaining Jewish residents of the town were deported to southern France in 1940. According to Yad Vashem, thirteen former residents fell victim to the Final Solution.

These resting benches are mainly found in the Alsace region, in the Bas-Rhin department. They date back to the 19th century and are made of sandstone. On market days, farmers would carry their goods in baskets or panniers to the markets in the surrounding towns. To rest for a short while, they would sit on benches and place their goods down. The upper crossbar was particularly practical for the women farmers, as they often carried their baskets on their heads. Trees planted around the benches provided shade. There are two types of resting benches, "Bancs-reposoirs": - those erected in 1811/12, named after the "Roi de Rome" (King of Rome), to commemorate the birth of Napoléon-François-Joseph-Charles Bonaparte, son of Napoleon Bonaparte - those erected in 1854, named after the Empress "Impératrice Eugénie" to commemorate her first wedding anniversary, married to Napoleon III. More than 400 of these benches, made from the sandstone of the Vosges, were erected, and a few dozen still remain.

One of the most beautiful rooms in the castle. Weapons and armor can be admired here.

Actually, everything that needs to be said about the castle has already been said. I would like to mention the entrance fees as a positive point. Adults €12, with a guided tour €14 All parking is free, whether in the forest parking lot or on the access road. When I think of Hohenzollern Castle in Hechingen, though...🙆
