ドイツから来たサンティアゴ・デ・コンポステーラの道にある美しい小さな村。

St. Sebastian Chapel is a listed historical monument (since 1921) and was the former parish church of the vanished village of Oberkirch. It combines a 12th-century Romanesque bell tower with a Gothic nave (dating from 1285). Particularly noteworthy are the Baroque high altar by the Winterhalder brothers (1692) and the Romanesque charnel house on the northeast side. The chapel is situated in the vineyards above Dambach-la-Ville, offering a sweeping panorama across the Rhine plain, and is privately owned by a civic brotherhood of 32 local families.

Here's the Breisach Canal, somewhat quaint and wild.

The Canal de Neuf-Brisach, which is mistakenly shown here on the map as the Canal de Colmar (as of October 2025), was previously called the Canal de Rouffach or the Canal de Vauban. It was built by the engineer Vauban and completed in 1699. It served as a transport route for building materials from the Vosges Mountains for the construction of the fortified town of Neuf-Brisach. It was originally 37 km long and had 15 locks.

During the German occupation in World War II, the Scherwiller synagogue was used as a camp for Polish forced laborers. The remaining Jewish residents of the town were deported to southern France in 1940. According to Yad Vashem, thirteen former residents fell victim to the Final Solution.

Even now at the end of September the water fountains still delight young and old

The Canal du Rhône au Rhin is the connection between the Canal du Colmar and the Canal du Neuf Brisach, so it goes along the canal forever 🤪

Market square where the weekly market takes place, whose water features provide a nice cooling effect in the summer.
