Murbach

Murbach lies in a narrow valley of the Vosges Mountains in Grand Est, a wooded setting that has kept this small Alsatian commune closely tied to the slopes above the Lauch valley. Its defining monument is Murbach Abbey, founded in the eighth century and once an influential Benedictine house. The surviving abbey church preserves substantial Romanesque work from the 12th century, with twin towers and red sandstone masonry that set it apart from Alsace’s better-known wine villages. Forest paths lead into the surrounding Vosges and towards the wider Grand Ballon area. Place Murbach in its broader Vosges context by browsing webcams around Alsace.
