Half-Timbered Houses in Bouxwiller

Highlight • Historical Site

france-voyage.com writes about Bouxwiller: Bouxwiller is one of the most beautiful towns in northern Alsace known for its architectural and historical treasures. It has retained its charm with its half-timbered houses, its remarkable bay windows, alleys that hide more than one curiosity detours. The oldest surviving documentary mention of Bouxwiller can be found in a deed of donation from 724, when goods in Puxuwilare were donated to the Weißenburg monastery.

Saint Adelphe Church — Neuwiller-lès-Saverne

Highlight • Religious Site

Collegiate until the 16th century, currently a Protestant church, it was built by the Benedictine abbey, outside the monastic enclosure, to accommodate the relics of Saint-Adelphe and thus acquire the dual vocation of parish church and church of pilgrimage. This late Romanesque-style building, built for the most part at the start of the 13th century, was deprived of its chancel in the 19th century. The church is open every day from April 1 to October 31 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in summer and until 5 p.m. in winter

The abbey church represents, thanks to its great diversity of styles (Romanesque, transitional Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque), one of the most remarkable churches in Lower Alsace.
The interior of the church, dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, contains remarkable pieces of furniture such as the reliquary of Saint Adelphe, a baptismal font from the 12th century, the Dupont organ from the 18th century and even sculptures in 15th century wood
