Hunawihr Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Fortified church and cemetery (15th century). Unique architectural ensemble, listed as a historic monument.
The church is built on a hill outside the village and is surrounded by a hexagonal enclosure (flanked by six semi-circular bastions with embrasures), which also includes the Catholic cemetery. It preserves frescoes from the 15th century that tell the legend of Saint Nicholas.
Originality: remarkable arrangement and undoubtedly unique in Alsace, access to the pulpit is via a back staircase and a passage pierced in the pillar.
The simultaneousum (welcome within the same church of Protestant and Catholic religions), founded in Hunawihr in 1687, is still in force in Hunawihr (the days of worship are alternated).
In summer, guided tours of the church and the village are organized.Type of place to visit (max. 2 modalities)- Religious siteTypes of visits- Free guided tour

Dolder Gate (1291)

Highlight • Monument

The Dolder was built in 1291. The 25 meter high tower served as a clock tower, watchtower and city gate. The Dolder is the most famous monument (building) of Riquewihr. It was built together with the first city wall. Over the centuries, it has managed to preserve its aspect, with a sober outer facade to distract intruders and an inner facade with an ornate bay window. Top-notch craftsmanship.
