グンドルスハイム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Sarcophagi from the Merovingian period were discovered near the church, as well as a burial ground from that period in the vineyards of Petit Pfaffenheim. It was first mentioned in 1186 as Pfaphinheim. The place name Petit-Pfaffenheim in the vineyards east of the village recalls the abandoned small settlement of Klein Pfaffenheim. No traces remain of the castles of Presteneck, Hertenfels, and Meyenheim known from the documents; at Laubeck, only the remains of a round tower and the moat remain. A leper hospital is mentioned in 1578.

Absolutely stunning and charming historical village! The buildings are not only beautiful, but also so well preserved. It was very quiet when I was there - probably just because it was a Sunday. Nevertheless, it didn't seem as "full" as some as the other villages along the route. That's a great thing for sightseeing, but maybe not so great if you're looking for food or supplies.

This wine village originated at the end of the 9th century. There are still some old wine-growing houses. The apse of the church (13th century) is decorated with floral friezes and has a blind gallery and slender columns. The notches in the stones of the apse (lower part) suggest that the wine-growers sharpened their knives here.

The monastery's origins date back to the 8th century, and by the mid-9th century it was already considered a spiritual center on the Upper Rhine. And even today, a visit to this historic site is worthwhile.

Nice track with a good surface for rollerblading overall.

This place is really worth seeing. The church is particularly impressive. The region's vineyards are a delight to the eye.

Murbach Abbey, whose church dates back to the 12th century, is one of the oldest monuments of Romanesque architecture in Alsace. Today, the church serves as the parish church of the municipality of Murbach and impresses with its historical architecture and artistic details. The gallery of towers is particularly worth seeing. Binoculars help you to take a close look at the stone faces, geometric shapes and animal depictions high up. The south portal of the church is decorated with two lions, one of which sticks out its tongue. The former nave now houses the parish cemetery. The abbey was founded in 727 by Abbot Pirmin, an Irish-Scottish wandering monk who had previously founded a monastery on the island of Reichenau in Lake Constance. In its heyday, the abbey owned three towns and 50 villages as far as Switzerland. Only nobles were accepted in Murbach. Peasant uprisings and the Thirty Years' War took their toll on the monastery, and in 1764 parts of the complex were demolished. The monastery was later converted into a secular knight's foundation. It was finally dissolved with the French Revolution in 1789. The last abbot died as a canon in Eichstätt. The history of Murbach Abbey reflects the eventful history of Europe. It testifies to the deep roots of religious life and cultural development in Alsace and remains an impressive example of Romanesque architecture. by Hans-Jürgen van Akkeren
