Saint Pantaléon Church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Pantaléon church dominates with its Romanesque bell tower, the picturesque wine village of Gueberschwihr. In the garden of the church you can find Merovingian sarcophagi from the 8th century. Long before the construction of this prayer house, this location was already spiritually important for going to the afterlife.

Architectural description: The bell tower dates from the second quarter of the 12th century and has been listed as a monument since 1841.
The church was enlarged in the period 1835 - 1836 due to the growth of the population. The parish then numbered more than 1500 souls.

Gueberschwihr

Highlight • Settlement

The village of Gueberschwihr is cited as such in the 8th century. Many nobles established their residence in the 11th century. Sign of the rich soil, many religious orders and houses and possessions were tithe in wine. This wealth attracted envy and the village was plundered several times during wars.

Today Gueberschwihr, medieval picturesque village is a feature of the Route des Vins d'Alsace. Nestled in the hills in lush greenery, this charming village has retained its original charm and authenticity invites you to discover its rich heritage: half-timbered houses, carved porticos, remarkable architecture and flourishing vineyards delight the eyes of the curious. Overlooking the village square, the spire of the 12th century novel, the jewel of the village, is an essential step for the Route Romane d'Alsace.
