A witness from the 14th century: A cauldron of baptism, with a diameter of 110 cm, sandstone of the Vosges and dated 1371, is now in the court of the Catholic rectory. The baptistery, probably being the oldest village, is a real witness of the past, he served as an accessory for at least 500 years to all Christian baptisms in the village.
Another witness of the past bi-confessional village, a sculpture of Saint Remi, the head of the Catholic parish, which is sealed in a wall of the Protestant church. A remarkable event (early) of ecumenism and tolerance of Christians Obenheimois.
