To see
- Kloesterlé Chapel – Laubenheim chapel, Klosterlé, was rebuilt in 1720 but it has retained its Romanesque door. Against the back wall of the choir, the high altar dates from 1717.
- Guirbaden Castle – Witness of the time when Alsace was part of the Holy Roman Empire, the Guirbaden was built between the 10th and 13th centuries. Surrounded by the Vosges forest, the Guirbaden is located 1 km from the village of Mollkirch, on the hills overlooking the Bruche Valley. It is the most extensive of the castles in Alsace (2 hectares) and certainly also one of the oldest. Of the enclosure and buildings, only the main building, the keep, sections of the surrounding walls and the St Valentin Chapel remain today. It offers a magnificent view of the Alsace plain and the Bruche Valley.
