Culture

The first documented mention of the Sainte-Croix parish church in Beinheim dates back to 1361.

The choir of the Sainte-Croix Church may date from the 14th or 15th century. The nave is dated 1756, and the bell tower dates from the same period.

The Pont du Rhin dates from 1895 and connects Beinheim in France with Wintersdorf in Germany.

The Pont du Rhin is 600 metres long and spans the Rhine over a distance of approximately 250 metres.

The “Blue House” is one of the oldest houses in Beinheim.

The municipality saved the “Blue House” from demolition by having it dismantled and rebuilt.

The “Blue House” is a small half-timbered house typical of the homes of the small farmers who made up the majority of the village population.

Things to do

The Circuit Beinheim Est is a 12-kilometre circular route that starts and ends at the Salle polyvalente on Rue du Foyer.

It is signposted with a blue ring marking from the Club Vosgien.

The circular route leads through the forest to the Hohwerd garden area and back to the starting point along the Stadenrhein.

At Beinheim, the canalised Rhine ends and resumes its natural course.

EuroVelo 15 runs along the flood protection embankment on the Rhine through the Rhine forest towards Lauterbourg.

Nature

La héronnière is an island biotope in a gravel pit with a remarkable reed population and a natural spawning ground.

At La héronnière, there is an observation point near the cycle path; binoculars can be rented from the town hall during opening hours.
