Thann Minster

Highlight • Religious Site

The small Alsatian town of Thann was first mentioned in documents in 1290 (city charter 1360). Three years earlier, however, a church was mentioned that was dedicated to Saint Theobald (Ubald of Gubbio, died 1160), the Bishop of Gubbio. A finger relic of him is venerated in the church, which miraculously arrived in the Vosges from Italy.

Construction of the current collegiate church began in the first half of the 14th century (southern aisle, lower part of the west façade). Construction of the choir and tower began in 1351. The Marian tympanum above the west portal was built around 1400, which depicts the life of the Mother of God based on biblical and apocryphal reports. The choir was consecrated in 1432. From around 1490, construction began again under master builder Remigius Faesch: he completed the northern aisle by 1492, and the central aisle in 1495. Faesch completed the church tower in 1516. In 1629-31, the Chapel of Our Lady was built on the southern nave. From 1887 to 1895, the cathedral received buttress pinnacles and colorful tiled roofs (Wikipedia).

Haag Farm

Highlight • Rest Area

In fact, the Hague is one of the few farms and inns that exclusively offer products from the country house and are certified organic. All the cured meats come from their pigs, processed by Laurent in Thillot, the cheese from the milk of their herd.
Not to forget the brilliant view of the Belchen and, when the weather is clear, as far as the Alps.
