Nice resting place in the shade of large trees with a view over Scherwiller and the castles. Right on the bike path.

Scherwiller Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

The town has pretty half-timbered houses and Renaissance buildings. The district on the Aubach is very picturesque. The watchtower with bay window and the tithe farm date from 1670. In 1525 a massacre of revolting peasants took place here (German Peasants' War). Scherwiller is dominated by the ruins of Ortenberg and Ramstein castles.

Built in 1700 by a cooper, the house was bought by the city in 1854 and given to the Guard Corps in 1861. The house is under monument protection.

Scherwiller, Capital of Riesling

Highlight • Settlement


The meanders of the Aubach, still punctuated by five wash houses, give Scherwiller incredible charm. The center of the village is full of beautiful winegrowers' houses, with their emblazoned pink sandstone porches and their half-timbered facades from the 15th and 18th centuries. Note the Guardhouse House, a superb building with an oriel window and sculpted balcony (17th century). A stone's throw away, at number 35 rue de la Mairie, admire the Tonnelier farm (18th century), its cart door, its half-timbered floor with corbelling and its ornate corner post.
On the heights of Scherwiller sleep the ruins of the Ramstein and Ortenburg castles
