Dachstein lies off the main roads in Alsace and is therefore less developed for tourism. The village nevertheless boasts some noteworthy buildings, such as: the medieval city gate, the Porte de la Bruche, the Church of St. Martin (Église Saint-Martin), which still retains Gothic elements, a nave, and a Baroque altar; the Renaissance castle (extended in the 19th century in the Neo-Renaissance style) of the de Turckheim family, the Château de Turckheim, or the Vieux Château. It was formerly a summer residence for some of the bishops of Strasbourg; the old washhouse, and the Château Hervé Bourcart, or "La Magnanerie." It is located closer to the village center and was built in 1750 as a private villa that housed the royal silkworm breeding school. It has been owned by the Hervé family since 1838. In the 1990s, the castle and its idyllic surroundings served as the setting for the film saga "The Alsatians." Magnan is an Occitan word meaning mulberry. The Magnanerie is the headquarters of a silkworm farm. The streets of Dachstein are lined with several traditional half-timbered houses, some with carved wooden galleries.

Saverne was already a Roman military post in the 4th century. From the 15th century until the French Revolution, Saverne was the residence of the powerful bishops of Strasbourg. The Château de Rohan, which boasts the longest neoclassical façade of any building in France, still bears witness to this.

A very stately church with a Romanesque portal and a Gothic nave. It testifies to the once great importance of Marmoutier, a town that is now a rather tranquil place.

Marmoutier Abbey is probably one of the oldest in Alsace. According to tradition, it was founded in 589 by the Irish monk Leonard on land donated by King Childebert II. The monastery then took the name of its founder: Leobardi Cella. Throughout its history, the abbey experienced alternating periods of decline and prosperity. Destroyed by fires and damaged during conflicts several times, it always rose from its ruins until its dissolution during the French Revolution (...)
