History
The village's historical character is also reflected in the tower of the Protestant Saint-Pierre Church, built in 1492. The Canal de la Bruche is an 20-kilometre-long waterway with eleven locks, also known as the Canal Vauban. It was commissioned in 1682; its original purpose was to transport sandstone from the quarries of Soultz-les-Bains and Wolxheim to Strasbourg.
Nature
Parc Fort Kléber was created in 2010 on a former military site that was converted into a nature park. The southern courtyard has a fitness trail and exercise equipment for outdoor training. Squirrels, pheasants and mallards can be spotted along the landscaped, hilly paths in Parc Fort Kléber.
