History in Strasbourg

Strasbourg in Alsace layers its history across a remarkably varied set of sites. The Abbatiale Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul and the Aurelienkirche reflect centuries of religious life in the region, while the Archaeological Museum brings earlier cultures to the surface. Medieval strongholds — among them Burg Ochsenstein, the ruins of Altwindstein, Château de Dreistein, and Château de Guirbaden — map out the shifting powers of the Rhine Valley. The Brahms House offers a more recent chapter, and places such as Alt Eberstein, Altes Schloss, and the Battert rock formation round out a historical landscape that extends well into the surrounding countryside.
