Illfurth

llfurth is the capital of a municipal community of 10 villages. With its location close to the Mulhouse and Altkirch Agglomeration, the Sundgau capital allows its residents to combine the advantages of the city with the charm of the countryside.

The town has a very rich social fabric and actively participates in various cultural events such as Heritage Days in September and Pot'Arts.

Things to see and do:

- Pot'Arts is a cultural event held in September every year since 2002. Almost 10 nights of high quality shows are presented over a two-week period.

- Burnkirch Church is a 15th century church which was founded in the 8th century and contains beautiful frescoes in the chancel plus the reclining effigy of Frederick of Burnkirch, who died in 1376 defending Altkirch during the foray of English raiders into the Sundgau area.

- The old 16th century bell tower, the interior of which is completely covered with frescoes.

- St. Brice Chapel on the Britzgyberg. The chapel, probably founded in the 16th century, was demolished during the French Revolution and rebuilt in two phases in the early 20th century. Recent restoration makes for a very pleasant walk. The Britzgyberg is also known as a proto-historic site.
