Discovery circuit of Hunawihr

Located on the Alsace Wine Route, Hunawihr is a typical Alsace village set against a background of vineyards. Overlooking the village, the church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur (15th-16th centuries), surrounded with its walled cemetery, preserves an environment which remains intact and provides the perfect setting for this exceptional whole. The village consists of winegrower houses with their gable ends stretching out over the street. Most of these houses were built in the 16th to the 18th centuries (although there are a few dating back to the 15th century). In these houses, the stone-built ground floor served as a storeroom while the upper floor, usually timber-framed, was the dwelling. This landscape and architectural heritage makes Hunawihr one of the ”Most Beautiful Villages in France” (Plus Beaux Villages de France) . A little history... As legend would have it, Hunawihr was founded in the 7th century by Hunon and his wife Hune to whom Hunawihr owes its name. Hunon left the village to the Saint-Dié monastery in the Vosges. During the 13th century, Hunawihr formed part of the lands of the Lord of Riquewihr*, owned by the Bishops of Strasbourg who had granted it as a fiefdom to the lords of Horbourg*. In about 1324, the counts of Horbourg* sold their assets to the Count Ulrich of Wurttemberg*, their cousin. In 1397, count Eberhard II of Wurttemberg*, through his marriage to the heiress to the county of Montbéliard, enabled the powerful counts of Wurttemberg-Montbéliard* to remain owners of the Riquewihr seigneurie up until the French Revolution. The county of Wurttemberg was elevated to the rank of Duchy in 1495. On the 15th April 1520, the village church was designated as a pilgrim centre at the behest of Duke Ulrich VIII of Wurttemberg*, responding to a request from his subjects who sought to show their devotion to Hune. Hune was raised to the rank of saint because of her work with the poor (the legend tells us that Saint Hune would wash the clothes of the poor in the fountain that bears her name. She has also been attributed with miracles such as causing the fountain to spout wine during a bad grape harvest year). The church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur in Hunawihr became a pilgrimage centre focusing on the relics of Saint Hune which were then kept in the church’s crypt. In 1534, Georges of Wurttemberg* introduced the Protestant religion into Hunawihr. Initially, the village followed the Zwingli (Swiss) inspired Reformation promoted by father Nicolas Koenig who had become a pastor (this pastor significantly helped propagate this movement to neighbouring villages). Georges of Wurttemberg’s successor imposed the Lutheran religion in 1559. In 1687, under Louis XIV, it again became possible to be a practicing Catholic in Hunawihr: the simultaneum was put in place and, to this day, the church is still in dual use by both the Protestant and Catholic communities. * lord(s) of the Holy German Roman Empire.

St. Mauritius Church

St. Mauritius Church

Visible from afar with its long white façade, the church of St. Maurice in Orschwiller stands out clearly against the wooded slope of the Langenberg massif. This neo-classical building from the end of the 18th century, designed by the architect Christiani, consists of a bell tower, a single nave and a polygonal choir set back, in accordance with the usual layout of the time. On the small promontory behind the church, an orientation table allows you to discover an exceptional landscape. The church was restored several times, but was demolished in 1780 as it was too small for the village. In 1779 the foundation stone of the present church was laid. For its construction, some of the materials from the old building were used, as well as the inexhaustible sandstone mine in the ruins of Haut-Koenigsbourg. The church was completed in 1781 with its imposing 42-metre high façade. The interior of the church was completely restored after the fire of 1985. It houses various paintings and statues of real artistic value. In the choir, you can admire the carved lectern, decorated with the symbols of the four Evangelists. This masterpiece was made by the sculptor Arsène Schirm from Orschwiller. Behind the high altar, note one of the rare paintings by the painter Simon Gasser, of excellent workmanship: the Ascension of Saint Maurice (1803). The ceiling of the nave features a work by Strasbourg artist Sylvie Lander, "Heaven", created in 2011 thanks to popular sponsorship - oil on canvas mounted on wood and gold leaf in an ellipse measuring 30 m². It is accompanied by an "Angel". The church got its first Birganztle organ from Ammerschwihr in 1805. In 1852 it was replaced by a Stiehr-Mockers from Selz. At the end of the century, its playing was romantised. An opening in the bell tower was necessary to accommodate the enlarged organ. In the 1985 fire, the front of the instrument was badly damaged and many pipes melted. It was restored to its original condition by the Mulheisen factory in Cronenbourg. The building has been listed as a historical monument since 1986, and classified as a historical monument since 1987. The organ, listed as a historical monument, was restored in 1988 following a fire in the church.
