Seebach, Rural commune in Bas-Rhin, France
Located in northern Alsace, Seebach extends over 17 square kilometers of agricultural land with traditional half-timbered houses and Protestant temple from 1783.
The villages of Ober and Nieder-Seebach, first mentioned in 967, merged into a single administrative entity in November 1974 after centuries of different territorial belongings.
The annual Streisselhochzeit peasant festival brings the community together to showcase traditional Alsatian folk dances, songs, and regional food specialties.
The municipality offers public services at the town hall, located at 1 Place de la Mairie, and maintains connections through departmental roads to Wissembourg.
Situated within the Regional Natural Park of Northern Vosges, designated as a World Biosphere Reserve, Seebach maintains 89 percent of its land for agriculture.

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.
