Half protestant and half catholic, this is a very unusual church with plenty of interesting features. Parts of it are in real need of restoration, so worth a visit and helping to support.

Loved my tour of this ancient wine cellar and shop. They have the oldest bottle of white wine in the world here, dates to 1472. The tour is fascinating and you can buy some of the best local wines at a great price. A steady stream of locals came in to buy wine while I was there! A fascinating experience that's quirky and a bit off the beaten track - and all the better for it!

Germans planned to build an extension for the city and proposed completing the construction in five years. They were concerned about efficient infrastructure and wanted for the "Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine", an exemplary capital, grandiose, all to the glory of the Empire and Germanity. Thus, in April 1880, they approved the master plan of the new city, 386 hectares in addition to the 230 hectares of the old core. The author of the project is J.-G. Conrath, municipal architect since 1849. He first provides a prestigious area reserved for official buildings (imperial palace, ministries, headquarters of the regional assembly, library and university). The whole thing is finished around 1900. The other sector, with its neighborhoods of collective or individual housing, advances more slowly and continues after 1920. This is a very interesting urban creation that has almost no equivalent following the destruction of World War II; it is made up of squares, broad, airy avenues, adorned with trees, and several sites where the monumental and a keen sense of "landscape".
