Barr town centre

Highlight • Settlement

Barr was first mentioned in documents in the year 788 as Barru, but the settlement of the region has been archaeologically proven since the Bronze Age. First, Barr was a Reichsdorf, but was pledged on June 6, 1409 by King Ruprecht to the Palatinate, along with Heiligenstein, Gertweiler, Goxweiler, Oberburgheim and Niederburgheim. In 1472, the resulting reign Barr finally reached the Palatinate and was sold in 1568 to the free imperial city of Strasbourg and shared their fate. Barr was a part of France during the Revolution in 1790 ...

Particularly worth seeing is the Town Hall Square with the town hall, which was built in 1640 on behalf of the city of Strasbourg on the foundations of a medieval castle, the Wepfermannsburg.

Châtenois, ideally located on the Wine Route, is a fortified city with a unique charm. Two enclosures surround the town, dating from the 13th and 15th centuries. Ramparts staged each year during the traditional “Fête des Remparts” in June:

These places are listed as Historic Monuments thanks in particular to the Witches' Tower, a 15th century Gothic tower gate located on the second enclosure; and the 18th century St Georges Church. Push open the door of the latter where you will discover one of the masterpieces of the organ builder Silbermann.
From the church, walk on the interpretive trail along the ramparts then go down towards the heart of the town. Get lost in the streets and let yourself be seduced by the typical Alsatian houses where geraniums bloom on the balconies every summer.
You can also explore the surrounding cycle paths during the annual Slow Up in June: slowup-alsace.fr

End your walk with a visit to the cellars and stop at one of the town's good restaurants which offer different local specialties such as tarte flambée.

This small asphalt road winds between the vines and offers splendid views of the neighboring villages and their bell towers that point to the horizon.

Of all the landscapes on the Alsace Vineyard Cycle Route, the arrival in Dambach-la-Ville offers one of the most beautiful views. In the middle of the vineyards, the historic center stands beautifully with the Rhine plain as a backdrop.
