Church of Saint James the Greater

Highlight • Other

Alsace became French again between 1648 and 1681, after the Treaties of Westphalia. Under the domination of Louis XIV, the following system was instituted: in Protestant localities where at least seven Catholic families are installed, the choir of the church is assigned to them by order of the King of France. We then speak of simultaneous church by reference to the simultaneum, name of this liturgical regime; the sanctuary becomes mixed and requires the reinstallation of Catholic worship, even in localities with a strong Protestant majority.

Highlight • Settlement

Here there is a church, a bakery, a pizza and milk vending machine and a bicycle shop in a small space. What more do you need on a bike tour?

Cycle Path Through the Haguenau Forest

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The cycle path runs on the former small railway line Seltz-Hatten. In Niederroedern you can still see the sign "Restaurant de la Gare" on the empty house.

Saint-Georges Church

Highlight • Religious Site

A church is mentioned in the 16th century. Having become too small, it was rebuilt in 1786. The building was significantly enlarged: 58 meters long, a tower of 60 meters, the surface of the nave is 737 m2, and that of the stands of 122 m2. The relics of Saint-Lucius are the object of pilgrimage there.
Destroyed during the bombings of January 1945, the sanctuary was rebuilt on the same site, between 1961 and 1965, by the architect Henri Walker, the stained glass windows are by the master glassmaker Atelier Ott Frères. The central stained-glass window on each side of the nave represents one Notre-Dame du Rosaire, the other Saint-Georges.
The organ is the work of R. Schwartz, from Strasbourg.

Saint Ulrich Church

Highlight • Other

The Catholic and Protestant churches of the village were considerably damaged at the end of the Second World War by the American bombardments. Only the walls of the Temple remain and the Catholic Church is 75% destroyed.
A provisional church is erected near the old Catholic church for parishioners of this denomination.
The final building stands on the site of the devastated church and the first stone was laid on December 18, 1960. In 1964, at the end of the work, the stained-glass windows, made thanks to donations from the faithful, were laid by the Werlé house, from Haguenau. They represent among others, Saint-Ulrich, Saint-Arbogast, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Léon IX, Sainte-Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the assumption of the Virgin Mary.
