This walk along the ramparts, through the vineyards and around the neighbourhoods of Wissembourg will take you past more than 70 houses built before 1700 and the imposing St. Peter and St. Paul Church.
The town's origins date back to themid-7thcentury when Benedictine monks founded an abbey, St-Pierre-et-Paul, on an island in the Lauter. The town has miraculously emerged unscathed from a history punctuated by sieges, disasters and acts of war, with a battle in 1870 bearing its name.
