Natzwiller

Entirely rebuilt in the middle of the 19th century, the Saint-Genès church reveals an original architecture mixing the antique and Renaissance style. Not far away, it is possible to admire the Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes chapel. In neo-Gothic architecture, this building from the end of the 19th century has a gable bay formed by projecting embrasures and a rounded arch.

Natzwiller has wished, over the years, to become a high place of memory linked to the Second World War. In 1960, the municipality inaugurated at Struthof, a former Nazi concentration camp, a memorial to the martyrs and heroes of the deportation as well as a national necropolis. A European Center for Deported Resistance Members was also created there in 2005. Visitors will be able to discover the site in its original form and immerse themselves in the darkest hours of modern history.

But it is also for its natural heritage that the Alsatian town is appreciated. Several hiking trails allow you to appreciate the surrounding landscapes, like the Serva waterfall. Do not hesitate either to take the botanical path bordered in particular by different varieties of hardwoods and conifers.

Sliding sports enthusiasts will enjoy taking a trip to the Champ du Feu, the only downhill ski resort in the Bas-Rhin. Culminating at more than 1000 meters, it offers 17 alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding and sledding trails.

In July, place at Messti de Natzwiller with carnival and festive meal.

A Christmas concert is offered every year in December in the Saint-Genès church.
