Tourism
In the heart of Obernai, not far from the Place du Marché, is the six-bucket well. Built in 1579 in the Renaissance style by a team of craftsmen from Strasbourg, it was originally painted. Three columns with Corinthian capitals support an octagonal canopy decorated with sculptures inspired by the New Testament.
From 1285 to 1873, the Chapel of the Virgin stood right next to the Place du Marché in Obernai. Since its destruction, only the Gothic choir and the Belfry remain.
This has long served as a watchtower, and still today houses six bells dating from the 15th century.
At the top, at 60 meters, an arrow culminates this monument now classified as a Historic Monument.
Built from the end of the 12th century, in Orschwiller the Haut-Koenigsbourg fortified castle and its impressive ramparts overlook the Alsatian plain. The castle was completely renovated at the beginning of the 20th century, and many rooms have been refurnished as in the Middle Ages, thus offering visitors an immersion in the heart of the past.
