St. Sebastian Chapel is a listed historical monument (since 1921) and was the former parish church of the vanished village of Oberkirch. It combines a 12th-century Romanesque bell tower with a Gothic nave (dating from 1285). Particularly noteworthy are the Baroque high altar by the Winterhalder brothers (1692) and the Romanesque charnel house on the northeast side. The chapel is situated in the vineyards above Dambach-la-Ville, offering a sweeping panorama across the Rhine plain, and is privately owned by a civic brotherhood of 32 local families.

Andlau was founded in 880 by Empress Richardis. She had been banished by her husband, Emperor Charles III, and was later canonized. Her tomb in Andlau became a place of pilgrimage. According to legend, a wild bear showed her the perfect spot (Wikipedia). Wonderful Crus are produced from the vineyards here.
