Haspelschiedt

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Moselle

Member of the Regional Natural Park of the Vosges of the North, Haspelschiedt is a charming small village of almost 300 inhabitants located in region Grand East, in the department of Moselle. Partly covered with forests, it takes place in the arrondissement of Sarreguemines, not far from the town of Bitche.

Populated since Prehistory, the Lorraine commune was the scene of an important battle between the Duke of Lorraine and the Bishop of Metz at the end of the thirteenth century. It also suffered many changes in the midst of the Second World War, seeing itself included in the military camp of Bitche, a neighboring city.

Today, Haspelschiedt is best known for its tourist activity, notably through its architectural heritage, as well as its natural preserved and authentic spaces.

Things to see and do

Built in the second half of the 19th century, the church of St. Nicholas is a more modest replica of that of Goetzenbrück. Of basilical type, it resumes in its way the Gothic style of the fourteenth century, especially with its transept slightly protruding.

Walking through Haspelschiedt, you can also discover the prehistoric polishers, witness of the ancient occupation of the village, or even the camp of Schlossberg. This enclosure reveals a fortified camp surrounded by a wall of dry stones which, according to the historians, would have served as a refuge for the Huns.

Another popular tourist resort in the village, the pond is a popular site for fishermen and hikers. The forest of Bitche, partly in the territory of Haspelschiedt, also allows to be initiated to the hike or to make picnics with family.

Do not forget to admire the Keller cross, a Calvary erected in the 18th century, representing Saint Hubert, Saint Wendelin, or the Virgin and Saint John.
