Rumersheim le Haut

Rumersheim-le-Haut, first recorded in 1298 as Rumersheim, experienced several spelling changes over the centuries: Romersen in the 14th century, Rummerszheim in the 15th century, and again Rumersheim in the 17th century. At that time, the village was under the lower bailiwick of Landser. In 1361, part of the local dues was granted as a castle fief to the SUR LAUBE nobles.

The village suffered from conflicts, notably in the 15th century, before being looted and burned by Swiss troops in the 17th century. An Austrian invasion attempt was repelled by Marshal de Bourc between Rumersheim-le-Haut and Blodelsheim. The site also hosted several military constructions throughout its history.

Notable monuments include the Saint-Gilles church, built in the 18th century, and the former presbytery dating from 1752. A 17th-century wayside cross and a half-timbered farm from 1870 complete this local heritage.
