Sturzelbronn preserves the remains of a former Cistercian abbey, founded in the 12th century and destroyed during the French Revolution. The site includes a stone calendar described as unique in France. The Grotte-Cellier, located on the site of the former abbey, is also part of this historic site: it served as a storeroom for the monks. The Romanesque tympanum of the former Cistercian abbey church of Sturzelbronn has also been preserved.

Those who choose Sturzelbronn as a travel destination can opt to rent a holiday apartment.
