A surprising piece of heritage in the heart of Pfetterhouse. This neo-Gothic church from 1884 is unique in Alsace: it is dedicated to Saint Gereon, a rare patron saint in this region. The church combines historical charm with a peaceful setting and houses an impressive 16th-century Pietà in polychrome wood.

Kilometre Zero Circuit (Western Front)

Highlight • Trail

This 7.5 km loop takes you through the wooded border area around Pfetterhouse, where the borders of France, Germany and Switzerland met from 1871 to 1914. During the First World War, the Western Front began here at border post 111, the official Kilometre Zero. Along the path you will discover restored bunkers, observation posts and boundary stones of the French, German and Swiss lines. A unique journey through a landscape where neutrality, conflict and memory come together.

Church of Saint James the Greater and Saint Christopher

Highlight • Other

Neo-Gothic landmark on the pilgrimage route. This neo-Gothic church in Courtavon was consecrated in 1865 and is notable for its three richly decorated portals with stepped vaults, crowned with ciliates – a typical Gothic element. The church is dedicated to James the Greater, patron saint of pilgrims, and Christopher, protector of travellers. This dual patronage reflects the village’s location on a historic branch of the Way of St. James towards Santiago de Compostela.

The village is known in Alsace because the Ill River, which joins the Rhine a few kilometers north of Strasbourg, has its source here.
The source of the Ill, located east of Winkel at a place designated in 1591 as Illentsprung, meaning origin of the Ill, in an orchard on the slopes of the Glaserberg. Its current powered the waterwheels of sawmills and mills.

Saint Bernard of Menthon Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Ferrette is one of the oldest churches in Alsace, remodeled and enlarged several times.
The base of the large tower could date back to Roman times, a first priory founded by monks of the Great Saint Bernard is attested for the year 1053.
In the 13th century the Gothic choir was opened, this part of the building is still preserved today. The old nave, on the other hand, was demolished in 1912 to be replaced by a new, taller and longer nave in neo-Gothic style, inaugurated in July 1914 - just on the eve of the First World War...
