The small, rather inconspicuous medieval village of Boersch, located on the Alsace Wine Route at the foot of Mont Sainte-Odile, is worth a visit. The village was first mentioned in 1109 as the property of the Abbey of Saint Leonard. In 1340, it was granted town charter and thus permission to build a city wall. The walls of the medieval town were repeatedly shaken by local uprisings and territorial disputes, but this did not prevent the town from flourishing in the 16th century before being devastated a century later in the Thirty Years' War.
