Bitschhoffen

Bitschhoffen is an Alsatian commune located in the historical and cultural region of Northern Alsace.

It lies just one kilometer north of Pfaffenhoffen and Niedermodern, and thirteen kilometers from Haguenau, north of the Moder river.

Its history dates back to the Holy Roman Empire era, when it was an imperial village directly attached to the emperor.

With the French conquest of Alsace, Bitschhoffen became a royal village.

Until the mid-19th century, the commune of La Walck was an annex of Bitschhoffen.

The local uniqueness also lies in the traditional costume worn by the women, whose headdress features Scottish patterns, unlike the classic Alsatian costume.

Finally, the village is home to the Saint-Maurice church, an iconic building of its heritage.
