Schirmeck

Highlight • Settlement

Schirmeck lies at the crossroads of history. This small town has played a significant role in the history of Alsace and Lorraine. The town is home to the Alsace-Moselle Memorial, a must-see in the region. Visitors can also discover a beautiful 12th-century castle and the Church of Saint George, which blends Romanesque and Gothic styles.

Schirmeck Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schirmeck Castle is a medieval building erected during the 13th century. Destroyed during the war, the inhabitants used the ruins to build the bell tower of the village as well as their house.

In 1969, the municipality decided to restore part of it. It is now open to the public. The panorama offered by its tower is majestic.
