The church still has a bell tower-porch whose base could date from the Romanesque period, i.e. the 12th century. A project of reconstruction of the parish church is established in 1763 by Jean-Michel Rüscher, but is not retained. The work was carried out according to the plans of the architect Christiani. The nave bears the date of 1765. It was enlarged towards the east in 1846, the choir being rebuilt according to a project by Ch. Morin which respected the 18th century style. The building, dedicated to Saint Arbogast, bishop of Strasbourg in the middle of the 6th century, suffered a fire in 1885. The painting of Saint Arbogast was redone, and the pulpit, organ and Stations of the Cross were restored. The church houses a copy of an ex-voto from 1832 whose author is unknown. This painting under glass comes from the chapel located at the eastern entrance of the village.

Memorial to Jean Bugatti. He was the son of automobile manufacturer Ettore Bugatti, who opened his factory in Molsheim-Dorlisheim in December 1909, the year of Jean's birth. Jean started working very early with his father, as he possessed the same artistic skills concerning designing elegant vehicles. On August 11, 1939, Jean Bugatti tragically died in a car crash while testing a 57 C. He was 30 years old. His father never recovered from the loss of his son.

Dating from 1838-1839, this building was built on the site of a church dedicated to Saint Como and Saint Damian.

This channel has a length of 20 km (12.4 mi), a 29 m (95 ft) slope and eleven locks measuring 48,5 x 4,5 m (159' x 14.7') each. On the 13th August 1682, the Bruche channel, also called channel Vauban was officially opened. It was designed to ship stones and other materials from the quarries of Soultz-les-Bains and Wolxheim for the fortification of Strasbourg and the construction of its citadel. On the 30th September 1681 the German free town Strasbourg capitulated in front of the French army. For a better defence of Strasbourg, King of France Ludwig XIV decided to build a fortress. The plans were drawn by the king's architect, Vauban. At that time there was a intense traffic on the channel composed of men, donkeys or horses, which from the right bank towpath of the pulled the full loaded ships. Beginning of the last century the channel was used less often. The former towpath now serves as a cycle lane you can use to reach Strasbourg.

The "Rimlen" Chapel is the only remaining piece of the former village of Rimlenheim. The hamlet was destroyed by the Armagnacs. An office is being held annually, on the 29th September (St. Michael's day), to commemorate the departed. If you want to discover this chapel, exit the village and take the road towards Ernolsheim sur Bruche. The building is in the middle of the vineyard.

This church, on the banks of the Scheer, is built on the site of a very old place of worship. It is dedicated to St. George, protector of Roman legionaries. One of the oldest churches in the region existed here. In 1202, it became the burial place of a Scottish prince, Ludan, who died, nomad and exhausted pilgrim, on February 12, 1202, a few steps from here. Since then, innumerable physical and spiritual healings were noted here. Also, through the centuries, this church has become a very important meeting place for thousands of pilgrims who come to seek health and inner strength. This church that welcomes you is above all the house of God. The Christian Assembly meets every Sunday around the risen Christ. It is a place of prayer, silence, inner breathing. Whether you are a believer or not, whether you share the faith of Christians or not, welcome to this place. Discover it with an open and respectful heart. He who lives in it and who is the Father of all men welcomes you. GOOD VISIT TO THIS PLACE OF PEACE Rev René-Xavier Naegert

On June 2, 1776, the foundation stone of a new church was laid on an artificial mound in the middle of the village (the singularity of this church!) and it was enlarged 85 years after its construction. The building escaped destruction during both world wars. As a sign of remembrance, a statue of St. Odile was erected next to the main portal. In the summer of 1958, a violent hailstorm shattered the stained glass windows and let in rainwater. In the 1960s, the interior of the church (choir, nave, altars, stained glass windows, ceiling and organ) was restored. In 1977 further renovation work uncovered the foundations of two previous buildings and the walls of the old cemetery once surrounding the place of worship.. Interior: The neo-classical church features a semi-recessed bell tower façade, a triangular pediment portal, a single nave with rectilinear side portals and a polygonal choir. The church features a tabernacle (18th century), altars and pulpit (19th century), high altar (20th century), a redesigned 25-register Stiehr organ (1817), a majestic painting of St. Louis by François Brendle (1807) at the back of the choir and two paintings on canvas over the side altars by painter Joseph-Louis Sorg, depicting two key scenes from the New Testament: the Crucifixion on the right and the Annunciation on the left (1840). In the church lie Klara Judith and her husband Hans Jacob von Landsberg, whose Rococo-style tombstone is still on the right wall of the nave. Outside: On one facade, a 1705 sundial is carved into a square slab. Originally placed against the "east" facade of the nave, the grotto of Lourdes found a worthy location behind the choir, attracting pilgrims for prayer and peaceful contemplation. On its side, the crucified Christ, with Mary and John at his feet, casts his gaze on the passer-by. The grotto is a place of prayer and peaceful contemplation. The church is not open to visitors, but is open throughout the year for religious celebrations.

About twenty kilometres from Strasbourg, lies the thirty hectares of the hillside Kefferberg beling once to the vineyard of Strasbourg, one of the oldest vineyards in Alsace. From the 4th century, vines would have been planted on these hills close to Argentoratum (the Roman name of Strasbourg) and patrician villas between Kirchheim and Marlenheim. The soil of Kefferberg is composed of clay interspersed with limestone-sandstone layers. Its gentle slopes, its south-facing orientation and its micro-climate may it benefit from an extraordinary drought resistance reinforced by silica on the surface which warms also the soil by their «magnifying» effect. This warmth gives dry wines a relatively subtle acidity, a rich material and aromas that make them great gastronomic wines. While below the hillside flows the river Bruche which promotes the development of botrytis (grey rot) on the grapes and transform the wines into fabulous sweet like the late harvests and the selections of noble grains. All the Alsatian grape varieties grow on the vineyards of Ergersheim. It offers magnificent views: the Vosges, the cathedral of Strasbourg, the chapel Saint-Michel d'Ergersheim (the last vestige of a village destroyed during the Thirty Years' War).

Château neuf, also known as Château Hervé, is a former Ecole Royale de la fabrication du ver à soir (Royal School for Evening Wormmaking) dating from the 18th century, and an annex of a vast nursery dating from 1742. The building has two levels with a facade and two wings (1750). Private estate

This building is characterized by its very long nave from the 18th century and a gothic choir with an imposing baroque high altar. The facade has two bays flanking the bell tower topped by a baroque bulb with a wrought iron cross (1878).
