First mentioned in 1144 and rebuilt in 1781, this remote chapel is tucked away in a valley near Sondersdorf. It was once a parish church and later a place of pilgrimage, with an unusual painted coffered ceiling and Gothic tabernacle.

At Rue Principale 41 in Ligsdorf is this striking half-timbered house from the 18th century, recognizable by its carefully balanced symmetry and the decorative diamond pattern in the timber frame. The house is a beautiful example of the traditional building style in the Sundgau. Also nice is that the mailbox is a replica.

An impressive structure, if you have time to look at it on the descent. On the way up, there's plenty of time to enjoy the view.

Small regional museum in a restored farmhouse in the centre of Oltingue. The museum shows the daily life of farmers in the Sundgau in the 19th and early 20th century. The collection includes utensils, tools, religious objects and furniture, spread over several rooms and an old barn. The original faience stove, a ‘Chunscht’ bench and a baroque outdoor pulpit are striking. Visits are possible from March to November, usually on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 15:00 to 18:00.

Raedersdorf is located in the southernmost part of Alsace, in the hilly landscape of the Sundgau, close to the Swiss border. The village is surrounded by forests, springs and hiking trails leading to heritage sites such as the Église Saint-Étienne with its baroque interior and Callinet organ, and the Mariabrunn chapel in the forest. Its location between French-speaking and German-speaking Switzerland makes Raedersdorf a place where cultures come together.

The church of Raedersdorf was built in its present form between 1807 and 1811, on the foundations of an older church, the tower of which has been partly preserved. The interior was richly decorated in 1811 by sculptor Joseph Antoine Feuerstein, with a harmonious baroque ensemble. The organ was also built in the same year by Jean Frantz. The church was finally consecrated in 1851. It is located in the centre of the village, close to the town hall, and is a silent witness to religious art and village history in the south of Alsace.

Le Moulin Bas is a former grain mill and sawmill with roots dating back to at least 1592. The current buildings date partly from the 19th century, but also incorporate older features, including a pediment bearing the date 1604. The mill was water-powered and remained active until after the First World War, when it was converted into a sawmill. Inside, the original cogs, beffroi and bore of the water wheel are still visible – now integrated into the dining room of the restaurant that now occupies the premises.
