Culture and History

The parish church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste was built in 1936 and consecrated on 16 February 1936. Next to Illzach Town Hall, the Square lapidaire contains archaeological remains from the Roman era. From the 1st to the 5th century, the important Gallo-Roman city of Uruncis, recorded in the Itinerarium Antonini, was located in the area of Illzach.

The Musée du Phare traces the history of the institution chronologically through various archival documents and objects. These include relief books, educational documents, Braille typewriters, photographs, manuscripts, works by female and male pupils and teachers, as well as hearing aids.
