Lièpvre

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Haut-Rhin

Small town of Haut-Rhin, in the Grand Est region, Lièpvre takes place in Alsace, about thirty kilometers from Colmar. It is also located not far from Châtenois, Scherwiller and Sélestat.

Historic cradle of Val d'Argent, the commune of Lièpvre was born in the 8th century under the leadership of Charlemagne's chaplain, Fulrad.

The object of numerous lootings and ravages between the 10th and 14th centuries, it was subsequently the scene of numerous battles between the different territories around it.

Centered on the textile industry, it underwent a major exodus in the 1950s before experiencing a new boom around tourism and notably obtaining the Pays d'Art et d'Histoire label.

Today, the Alsatian city continues to attract visitors with its authentic charm and its architectural heritage.

Things to see and do

Rebuilt in the mid-eighteenth century, the Assumption of the present church of Our Lady took place on the ruins of an old chapel of the thirteenth. In 2004, the thirteenth-century frescoes were discovered in the vaults of the choir of the old building. These particular represent the four evangelists and their pets. It is also possible to admire a baptistery with two ancient Roman capitals and numerous sculptures like the struggle of a man with a dragon or a Sagittarius.

Strolling down Lièpvre, you can enjoy an important religious heritage, including a Romanesque chapel of the late eleventh century converted into ossuary in the seventeenth. Located in the cemetery, it is now the subject of a classification as historical building. Do not miss either the Priory of sandstone cross of the fourteenth century or the Vosges Musloch chapel of the early twentieth century.

Also do not miss to admire the old fountain in the square of the Old fountain which dates from the mid-sixteenth century or the Fountain St. Alexander. Discovered in the late 1980s, it dates from the Middle Ages and was used to supply a reservoir in the priory.
