Heritage days
Founded in the 12th century by the Benedictine monks, Alspach Abbey served as an important religious and spiritual center in the region. The abbey flourished for several centuries, becoming a place of prayer, work and learning.
Benedictine monksOver time, the abbey underwent several transformations and was gradually abandoned. In the 19th century, the monastic buildings were converted into a paper mill, a transition reflecting the economic and industrial changes of the time. Despite these changes, some of the original Romanesque architecture has been preserved, offering today a glimpse of its medieval past.
