Discover Souffelweyersheim

Souffelweyersheim offers several ways to enjoy a stay combining outdoor activities, the harbour and local history. When looking for a hotel, you can start with the activities you have planned for the day: would you like to include a walking or cycling route, spend time at the harbour or see buildings from different periods? The following places and routes give these interests some specific points of reference.

On foot, at the harbour and by bike

The Vitaboucle No. 15 in Souffelweyersheim is 7.4 kilometres long and rated as moderately difficult. Its length and difficulty level are two concrete criteria to consider if you would like to include the route in your day.

The harbour is on Rue du Canal, near a cycle path and several walking trails. Its facilities make it suitable for a break or a picnic. As facilities may change, check the situation on site if you are planning around them.

The Souffelweyersheim marina offers a welcome mooring for boats year-round on the outskirts of Strasbourg. If you are planning a visit, check the current operating conditions in advance.

There are also specific options for a cycling trip: the cycle path along the Canal de la Marne au Rhin can be reached from Souffelweyersheim. The Piste des Forts can be accessed from Rue du Ried. Check current access conditions if you are planning to use either route.

Architectural history and notable places

The Église Saint-Georges dates from 1818 and was rebuilt after the village fire of 1815. An original clock surround from 1781 has been preserved, and the nave was extended in 1935. The church thus brings together different periods: the older clock surround, the early 19th-century reconstruction and the later extension of the nave.

Almost all the half-timbered houses in Souffelweyersheim date from between 1816 and 1819. The workers’ houses made of concrete along Rue du Canal offer a different architectural impression, contrasting with the village’s rural building tradition. Another building with a clear date is Villa Joséphine: it was built in 1890 and has a tower and spire. The Bildstöckel, a roadside shrine with a niche, dates from 1755.

Wat Simoungkhoune is a Lao Theravada Buddhist temple founded in 1991. It also serves as a retreat and prayer centre, as well as a place for meditation. The Buddhist pagoda welcomes interested visitors; check the arrangements for visits before travelling.

Ferme Lorentz is not open to visitors, but can be viewed from the road. Check the situation on site before planning a visit.

Market and planning your stay

The weekly market takes place on Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Place du Général de Gaulle. As market hours may change, check the date before your visit. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Souffelweyersheim, you can base your plans on the activities you have in mind: a route, a visit to the harbour and architectural history offer different ways to spend your time in the area.
