The original church of the lower village parish was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and then to Saint Anthony the Hermit, but in 1842, Father Acker established Saint Geron as the main patron saint. In 1802, the two parishes of Pfetterhouse were united, and there was only one church. The current bell tower was built in 1900 by the architect Alexandre Louvat from Mulhouse. The old furnishings were gradually replaced. This church is the only one in Alsace to have Saint Geron as its patron saint.

Pfetterhouse is located in the southernmost part of Alsace, near the Swiss border, and marks the symbolic starting point of the Western Front in World War I. During the Battle of Alsace in August 1914, French troops took the village. From that moment on, Pfetterhouse became the official Kilometre 0 point of the front line, which then stretched for almost 750 km to the North Sea. In the village centre, you will find the Église Saint-Géréon, a neo-Gothic church from 1884 with a rare 16th-century Pietà and a striking tower. The old railway line, now a cycle path, is also a reminder of the past.

This region has hundreds of small fishponds, once created by monks in the Middle Ages. Today they form a patchwork of water, reeds and forest – a paradise for birds, cyclists and those seeking peace and quiet. You cycle along quiet banks, see herons take flight and enjoy local specialities such as fried carp along the way.
