Oltingue

Oltingue was the most populous of the 33 villages of the seigneury of Ferrette before the Thirty Years War. The village has retained the traces of ancient terrace cultivation which mostly involved vines due to the dry conditions resulting from the location of the village at the foot of a hill in the lee of breezes. The Ill river crosses the town which is rich in places to visit.

Must see:

- The Oltingue Farming Museum: created in the 1970s, it presents collections gathered by Fr Etienne Bilger (1901-1980) in a timbered farmhouse and provides an understanding of how people in the Sundgau area lived before the rapidly changing countryside of the 20th century.

- The church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs: the former mother church of three villages, a listed building dating from the 14th century, it boasts 7th and 8th century tombs and pre-1350 frescoes representing characters from the Old Testament and saints.

- The Church of St. Martin: Built in 1824 by the bailiff of Ferrette, who thought the Saint-Martin-des-Champs church too small and above all too far away, it contains a Callinet organ listed as a historical monument in 1973. There is also magnificent interior furniture.

- The St Brice Chapel: first mentioned in 1361, partially rebuilt in 1669, it is isolated and is situated in a clearing 3 km northeast of Oltingue village. St Brice was once a renowned centre of pilgrimage, in 1576 appearing on the map of Alsace under the name of St. Brixi. In 1567 a hermitage stood near the chapel, now replaced by a farmhouse that attracts many tourists in summer.
