Muhlbach-sur-Munster

Founded in 896, Muhlbach-sur-Munster owes its name to the stream fed by the Tannkœpflé, whose mill gave the village its name.

In 1068, a church dedicated to Saint Bartholomew replaced the original chapel, and the parish became autonomous in 1316.

In 1559, the Protestant Reformation took hold, and a school was opened the same year.

The village suffered invasions between 1628 and 1675, then saw the gradual return of Catholic worship under Louis XIV.

In 1728, the church became a shared place of worship.

After the Revolution, Muhlbach became an independent commune.

Destroyed during World War I, the village was rebuilt.

Today, it houses a museum dedicated to ancient woodworking techniques, established since 1997 in a dedicated building.

The Protestant church, rebuilt in 1930 after its destruction in 1915, stands on the site of the original chapel.

A Catholic church in Austrian neo-baroque style, built in 1929, completes the village's religious heritage.
