Fortschwihr

Since Gallo-Roman times, the site of Fortschwihr has been inhabited.

The village first appears in records in 1315 under the name Volratwilr.

During the Thirty Years' War, Fortschwihr was completely destroyed before being repopulated in 1687 thanks to the arrival of Dominican and Jesuit brothers.

Later, during World War II, the village was evacuated and heavily bombed.
