Discover Langensoultzbach

Langensoultzbach offers several clear starting points for choosing where to stay: the landscape of the Northern Vosges, a Protestant church with a well-documented building history, and an art trail featuring wall frescoes. When looking for a hotel, you can first decide whether you would rather focus on the landscape, historic buildings or art when choosing where to stay.

Landscape along the Soultzbach

Langensoultzbach lies in the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park, which is designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The town stretches along the Soultzbach River through a wooded valley that opens towards the Sauer Valley. The townscape and surrounding landscape include Alsatian half-timbered houses, orchards, meadows and deciduous forests. Alsatian half-timbered houses shape the townscape, while orchards, meadows and deciduous forests characterize the surrounding landscape.

A route through the town

A named route also passes through Langensoultzbach: the Boucle des châteaux forts et des forêts. The name Boucle des châteaux forts et des forêts refers to fortified castles and forests.

Church: construction dates and protected status

The Protestant church was built to the plans of architect Albert Haas. Its main construction phase dates from 1845 to 1846, and it was inaugurated in 1847.

The organ also has its own historical significance: its instrumental part is listed as a protected historic object. It was granted protected status on February 27, 1980. The organ’s instrumental part was granted protected status more than a century after the Protestant church was built.

Archaeological finds and a restoration decision

Votive stele No. 4 was discovered in 1844 during the demolition of the old church. Another chapter in local history followed in 1996, when the municipality decided to restore the former Catholic chapel beside the church so that it could house Gallo-Roman stone slabs discovered during the demolition of the former church.

Art trail with wall frescoes

The Sentier des peintres de l'impressionnisme is located in a renovated, unusual house at 16 rue des Cerfs. There, it displays wall frescoes featuring pastiche-style reproductions of works by major 19th- and 20th-century painters. The art trail includes around a hundred reproductions, spanning artistic styles from Impressionist painters to modern art. Both the subject matter and the format of this attraction differ from the church’s architectural history: the focus is on the frescoes and their reproductions. Check visiting arrangements before you arrive.

You can therefore choose where to stay according to your interests: the river and valley, the named route, the history of the Protestant church and its organ, archaeological finds, or the art trail. These specific points of interest can help guide your search for a hotel in Langensoultzbach.
