Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful to look at. In some cases you can read the year they were made... there are some that are already 400 years old.

The town hall was built by Joseph Massol from 1741 to 1752. It was intended to replace the town hall that was destroyed during the great city fire (1677). The Latin inscription above the dial reads: Under the reign of Louis XV. I am born again from old ashes.

The Abbey of Wissembourg was founded in the 7th century by East Frankish noblemen on an island of Lauter. The Benedictines who worked here in the subsequent period to a considerable influence, so that the abbey is considered one of the richest of the Holy Roman Empire. It was secularized in 1524.
The predominantly Gothic church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul dates back to the end of the 13th century. The laterally positioned Romanesque bell tower dates back to the predecessor building from the 11th century. Noteworthy are frescoes in the church from the 14th and 15th centuries, not least the unfinished high Gothic cloister of the monastery on the north side of the church, which is considered one of the most beautiful in the Upper Rhine. There are also a number of tombstones of historically significant abbots.
