Cycling tour Religious Splendors and Heritage

Description

This little route will help you understand the quite rich religious heritage spread around Molsheim, former Episcopal city and capital of the Counter-Reform. Every religious community settled in the surroundings: the Jesuit and the Carthusian orders in Molsheim, the Benedictine order in Altorf and the Trappist order in Ergersheim. We also have plenty of chapels to visit, like the lovely private Chapel of Our Lady in Duttlenheim, or the St. Michael Chapel in Ergersheim. Let us not forget about the place of pilgrimage dedicated to Maria Altbronn, also in Ergersheim, reminding us of the religious fervor from the ancient times. As for the Protestant temple of Dorlisheim, it exhibits a magnificent medieval bestiary on its outside façade, while a sublime Mahler organ dwells inside its walls.
