Kirchberg Orchard
Kirchberg Vineyard
Probably existing since Gallo-Roman times, it stretched over 10 ha in the middle of the 20th century and was used to make a characteristic piquette. A municipal program to safeguard natural and characteristic sites aims to safeguard this currently abandoned vineyard.- Castle-church-abbey
Kirchberg Chapel
Formerly in the heart of the ancient village of Berg, it is now isolated. The tower dating from the 12th century, the Gothic choir of the 14th or 15th century, it would be one of the oldest churches in Alsace. During the course of history, it alternated between Catholic worship and Protestant worship, and even hosted both in 1686 during the simultaneum. Practically destroyed during the 39/45 war, its tower was dynamited by German troops, but was rebuilt in 1947.
