Discover Entzheim

Location and arrival

If you are looking for a hotel in Entzheim, Entzheim-Aéroport station can serve as a practical reference point when planning your trip. It is opposite the terminal and accessible via a covered pedestrian walkway. This proximity can help you plan more precisely if the station and terminal are relevant to your stay.

A church with details from several centuries

The church in Entzheim preserves a portal dating from the 12th century. A portal is the designed entrance area of a building; this surviving detail therefore points to a long history of construction. On the south side of the church is a sundial from 1694. The church also has an organ by Stiehr-Mockers, dating from 1811. The three dates refer to different elements, spanning the medieval portal, the sundial and the organ. A sundial tells the time based on the position of the sun; the organ complements the architecture as a musical instrument.

Historic travel routes and buildings

The former post relay station in Entzheim was the first stop for travellers leaving Strasbourg heading south. This former role offers a different perspective on transport from Entzheim-Aéroport station: the post relay station is associated with the historic route south from Strasbourg, while the station is notable for its location opposite the terminal. The town’s history and arrival information can thus be considered as distinct topics.

Another historical point of interest is the Alsatian house at 2 Rue Saint-Denis. It was formerly a métairie, or agricultural estate. The restoration project for the house bears the label “Patrimoine et tourisme local” (“Heritage and local tourism”). Two aspects should be distinguished: métairie refers to the house’s former use, while the label is associated with the restoration project. Compared with the church, the emphasis here is on a building’s former function and the context of a restoration project.

Festival and culinary connections

The youth festival “L’Escale dans les Nuages” takes place every year in Entzheim. Unlike the church’s features, which have specific dates, it is an annual event. If the festival is relevant to your trip, check the specific event dates before planning your stay around it.

The “Route de la Choucroute” passes through Entzheim and brings together producers, manufacturers, hoteliers and restaurateurs. This adds a culinary perspective to the town’s architectural and cultural history. While the festival is a recurring event, the route focuses on the connections between the groups involved.

These topics also differ in their time frame: the portal, sundial, organ and former post relay station provide historical context; the youth festival takes place annually, so specific travel plans depend on its dates. The Route de la Choucroute adds a culinary and hospitality dimension. This can help you focus on the aspects that suit your stay in Entzheim.
