Saint-Léger Church

The Saint-Léger Church, first mentioned in the 13th century, was originally linked to the Murbach Abbey. In the 15th century, its maintenance was shared between the abbey and the village community. A new consecration took place in 1739, but despite repairs in 1789, its condition deteriorated to the point that a demolition project was considered as early as 1811 due to the instability of its bell tower.

A new church, in a neo-classical style, was built between 1842 and 1844 according to the plans of architect Laubser. Originally, it housed a clock by Schwilgué, the famous Strasbourg manufacturer, creator of the third astronomical clock of Strasbourg Cathedral.

The organ, commissioned in 1852 from Claude Ignace Callinet of Rouffach, has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1977. The stained glass windows, installed in 1886, pay tribute to the fourteen intercessor saints, healers or helpers. The main altar, carved by Joseph Saur, a renowned local artist, is adorned with a painting depicting Saint Léger receiving the palm of martyrdom, dating from the 19th century.
