An illuminated landmark on the Wine Route, Kaysersberg surprises with the charm of its medieval sites grouped around the church (Romanesque portal and sculpted altarpiece, a masterpiece rarely equaled) and the fortified bridge dominated by the castle (remains of the old free city of the decapolis). Its strategic position revives the memory of the Roman road which linked Alsace to Lorraine. It is one of the most charming towns in Alsace with its cobbled streets and richly decorated half-timbered houses. Moreover, the birthplace of Doctor Schweitzer is characterized by the approval of its forest walks in absolute calm. Located on the road to Santiago de Compostela.
With the Château de la Confrérie St Etienne where you can taste some of the best wines of Alsace: Riesling, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, and especially the Pinot Gris imported by the illustrious Schwendi, Kientzheim has kept some prestigious memories of its past: a surrounding wall with its towers, the chapel of Saint-Félix and Sainte-Régule, the tombstones of the barons of Schwendi.
Producer of renowned wines, the coast of Sigolsheim is a high place characteristic of the Battle of the "Pocket of Colmar".
