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.

Taennelkreuz Chapel is located in the middle of the vineyards at an elevation of 208 meters. This chapel was built in 1905 and dedicated to the Holy Cross on September 23, 1906. With a cruciform floor plan and a neo-Gothic style, it is located in the middle of the vineyard at the foot of the Rittersberg.

At the end of the ridge, at an altitude of 443 meters, lies Ortenbourg Castle, built between 1260 and 1265 by Rudolf Habsburg and one of the most beautiful ruins in the Rhine Valley. A masterpiece of military architecture, with its high gorge surrounding a 32-meter-long dungeon, it is visible from afar and blends perfectly into the landscape. This dungeon offered six levels of defensive fire, and its pentagonal design allowed for better deflection of attackers' projectiles. The recently founded association "Les sentinelles de l'Ortenbourg" (Ortenbourg Sentinels) aims to preserve, expand, and revitalize the castle.

Built in 1247 to control the valley and the neighboring abbey, the castle features a large, 24-meter-high square tower and a courtyard. Fragments of polychrome frescoes can be seen on one of the ruins' arches—with the carved chimney gables, they display a rare level of sophistication in the 14th century. Over the past 20 years, it has been restored, making it more accessible.

The castle was built around 1264 by the Lords of Andlau, Knights of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, and was largely spared the destructive fury of the Thirty Years' War. During the French Revolution, the castle was confiscated as national property and sold to a merchant in 1796, who resold it piece by piece from 1806 onward, without much notice. In 1818, the Andlau family bought back the castle to preserve its remains. This painstaking and meticulous work is now undertaken by the association "Les Amis du Château d'Andlau" (Friends of the Castle of Andlau).

The trail to the waterfall is very nice. If you're mountain biking, you should avoid the waterfall on warm weekends and holidays, as there are a lot of pedestrians around.
