Itterswiller, Wine village in Bas-Rhin, France

Itterswiller is a wine village in Bas-Rhin located in northeastern France, situated on rolling terrain between Molsheim and Sélestat. The settlement sits at approximately 260 meters above sea level and offers access to nearby towns such as Epfig and Mittelbergheim.

The name derives from the Latin term 'Itineris villa', marking the settlement's founding during Roman times as a rest stop along an ancient road. This early role shaped the place for centuries to come.

The village is known for its well-maintained gardens and floral displays throughout the streets, earning it a four-star 'ville fleurie' classification. Local residents shape the appearance by their dedication to flowers, which are visible everywhere.

The village is situated near Autoroute A35 and offers good access to surrounding areas. Visitors can move around easily on foot and explore the local layout.

The village has maintained a remarkably small scale, giving it a quiet and rural character. This modest size allows visitors to explore it entirely on foot and experience its calm nature.

Alsace Wine Route: historic villages, half-timbered houses, medieval architecture

The Alsace Wine Route connects dozens of villages that have preserved their medieval structures. Half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries line cobblestone streets, while town walls and watchtowers testify to the region's strategic importance. Many villages feature Romanesque churches with sculptural decoration and historic town halls. Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, and Eguisheim display typical examples of this architecture. Painted wooden beams on houses, old market squares, and vineyards on surrounding slopes characterize these settlements. Castle ruins such as Haut-Koenigsbourg occupy hilltops overlooking the Rhine plain. The region also maintains religious buildings like Murbach Abbey or the church of Thann with its Gothic portal. Local museums present medieval manuscripts and liturgical objects. This cultural landscape combines winemaking tradition with architectural heritage spanning several centuries.
