Murbach is in the Haut-Rhin department of the Alsace region near Guebwiller.

The attraction here is the benedictine Murbach Abbey. Founded in 727 the abbey was at one time one of the most powerful and influential in the region, with extensive lands under its control, and was also a leading intellectual centre for the region. The abbey had two periods of great influence - the first in the 10th century and the second in the 14th century.

The remaining part of the abbey that we see today is the church, and is a beautifully proportioned building in an attractive wooded valley setting, with two towers offsetting the facade of the building. The ornate carved decoration adds further to the appeal of this Romanesque abbey.

The remainder of the abbey, apart from the church, was destroyed at the time of the Revolution.

An attractive 'English style' garden is also maintained at the abbey.
