Dambach-la-Ville, Medieval wine village in Bas-Rhin, France
Located on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains, Dambach-la-Ville extends across 28.83 square kilometers of rolling hills and vineyards at altitudes between 164 and 662 meters.
First documented in 1125 as Tambacum, the village expanded in the 13th century under Bishop Berthold I of Teck of Strasbourg to include Altenwiller and Oberkirch settlements.
The village maintains strong connections with German town Wemding through a twinning program established in 1988, fostering regular cultural exchanges between both communities.
The town hall opens Monday through Thursday, providing administrative services to 2,186 residents under the leadership of Mayor Claude Hauller until 2026.
Dambach-la-Ville stands as the largest wine-producing village in Alsace, with its vineyards creating the distinguished Grand Cru Frankstein wines.
