Eguisheim Village

Highlight • Settlement

Eguisheim is classified among the most beautiful villages in France. This medieval city was built around its castle, which unfolds in concentric circles. Its cobbled streets and old houses with colorful facades are truly stunning!

Saint Pantaléon Church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Pantaléon church dominates with its Romanesque bell tower, the picturesque wine village of Gueberschwihr. In the garden of the church you can find Merovingian sarcophagi from the 8th century. Long before the construction of this prayer house, this location was already spiritually important for going to the afterlife.

Architectural description: The bell tower dates from the second quarter of the 12th century and has been listed as a monument since 1841.
The church was enlarged in the period 1835 - 1836 due to the growth of the population. The parish then numbered more than 1500 souls.

In Gueberschwihr

Highlight • Other

The church is worth a look. Its surroundings too. There are very old graves. Some have of course been moved, but all come from the village or nearby.

Saint-Léonard Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

According to legend, Leonard belonged to a noble Frankish family in the time of King Clovis I and was baptized and educated by Saint Remigius, Bishop of Reims. After receiving permission from the king to release prisoners, he refused the episcopal dignity offered by Clovis and entered a monastery at Micy, near Orleans. Later he moved to Aquitaine to live as a hermit and preach the Bible. Thanks to his prayer, the birth of the Frankish queen went well, for which he was given a domain in Noblac, near Limoges, where he first lived as a hermit and later in community with colleagues and thus initiated a "monastery", which grew into the city of Saint-Léonard.

His name day is on November 6. He is the patron of the farmers and the cattle, the horses, the stables, the grooms, the carriers, (copper)smiths, locksmiths, load carriers and coopers, fruit merchants and mountain men, miners and grocers. He is invoked by women during childbirth, against headaches and venereal diseases and against burglaries and burglars. He is also the patron of prisoners: according to legend, the king granted him the favor of releasing prisoners he visited in prison if he judged them worthy of this pardon.
In Christian iconography, Leonard's attribute is a chain or a pair of fetters, sometimes broken.
