Seltz

City Seltz is mainly known for its religious heritage and for its surrounding forests to practice many sports.

Built in the early fourteenth century, the abbey of Seltz was destroyed in 1577 after several reconstructions. One that served as a career during the seventeenth century was rediscovered during archaeological excavations in the course of the 1980s foundations, burials and fragments of ceramics have been found particularly there. You can still see traces of the abbey church which once measured 70 meters long and thirty meters wide.

Built in the fourteenth century and rebuilt in the fifteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Saint-Etienne church exist since the Merovingian period. Inside, you can see photographs showing the church's appearance before the 1940s, while the bell tower houses a bell donated by the German Emperor William, in the late nineteenth century.

The ferry Seltz Rhine can cross the river for several decades. Equipped with a trail pit, it consists of a boat attached to a cable stretched twenty meters high to connect the two banks using only the driving force of the current.

City Seltz offers various events in the year to brighten the streets of the city.

Every second Friday of the month, from June to October, a food and local produce market moves into the main street from 16h to 20h. A spring fair with artisan galleries and other businesses in the city also takes place in May. In December, the city of Seltz also hosts a bustling Christmas market.
