Geography

Situated halfway between Strasbourg and Mulhouse, 2 km from the Rhine, this Ried village in central Alsace has a population of nearly 750. The village is part of the canton of Marckolsheim and the district of Sélestat-Erstein.

Two landscapes characterise its territory: agricultural areas dominated by maize cultivation and the Rhine forest recognised as a remarkable natural area. Several large buildings, mostly built in the 19th century (the church, the former synagogue, the town hall-school, the presbytery, the forest house, etc.) give the village a special character. Today, the preservation of the old built heritage is combined with the creation of new residential areas.
