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.

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.

The current parish church of Oltingue was built between 1827 and 1831 in late classicist style. Striking features include the triangular pediment above the round-arched portal and the Callinet organ from 1843, which is still in use. Together with the presbytery and the former school, the church forms a well-preserved village ensemble from the Louis-Philippe period. The church replaced an older mother church outside the village.
