Eguisheim Essentials

Eguisheim is defined by its unique concentric street layout and medieval half-timbered houses. This collection highlights the village’s architectural evolution, from the 13th-century Romanesque bell tower of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul to the central castle square, the birthplace of Pope Leo IX. Visitors can explore the ruins of the Dagsbourg overlooking the vineyards, taste local wines at the Wolfberger cellar, or observe Alsace’s iconic storks at the dedicated park.
