Niederhaslach

Listed as a Historic Monument, the Saint-Florent collegiate church was built between the 12th and 13th centuries. Considered one of the most representative sacred buildings of the Gothic style in the Bas-Rhin, it was restored during the 19th century. It reveals very beautiful medieval stained glass windows from Alsace, as well as important statues, like the Annunciation, the Coronation of the Virgin and the legend of Saint Florent arranged on the portal from the beginning of the 14th century. Inside, you will not fail to admire the Holy Sepulcher from the 14th century, the tombstone of Gerlach von Steinbach, the late Middle Ages funerary monument of Bishop Rachio, a crucifix from the mid-18th century, or another baptistery from the 13th century.

Not far away, it is possible to discover the old cemetery with its funerary slabs of canons from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Don't miss the Saint-Florent fountain, the tithe collector's house, or the Helmbacher mill and farm. These are the former outbuildings of the abbey.

In the imposing Haslach forest, you can go for walks or bike rides. Not far from there, don't hesitate to wander around to admire the rocks installed at the top of the border ridge.

In June, it's time for the Solstice at the collegiate church to admire the rays of the sun reflecting in the stained glass windows of the church, revealing a very special light at this time of year. The event is accompanied by songs and music.

The village Messti takes place every year on the first weekend of July.

On the Sunday following November 6, and for twelve centuries, the town commemorates the translation of the relics of Saint Florent by Bishop Rachio. The event sees the organization of a mass with procession of relics, as well as a market on the church square.

A Christmas event is offered at the end of the year on the Church Square.
