Reyersviller can be explored through several distinct highlights: the architectural and artistic history of the Église Saint-Bernard, the Stations of the Cross on Schimberg and contemporary glass creations. These themes do not all lead to the same kind of visit. When planning, you can choose whether to focus on a building, a path through the forest or the art of working with glass.

Church and furnishings

The Église Saint-Bernard was rebuilt from 1956 to 1959 to plans by architect Roger Sarrailh. The foundation stone of the rebuilt church is dated 1956 and is set into the south façade. These details mark different points of reference: the period describes the rebuilding, while the date on the foundation stone gives a specific year within that phase. This precisely located detail adds to the story of the multi-year construction.

The church houses stained-glass windows, a tapestry and a mosaic by Léon and Irène Zack. These three types of work add a distinct artistic highlight to the architectural history.

Stations of the Cross on Schimberg

The Chemin de Croix du Schimberg offers a different focus from the church: this contemporary Stations of the Cross, made of stone, glass and wood, follows a pleasant footpath through the Reyersviller forest. The path ends at the Croix de la Résurrection on Schimberg, which overlooks the village and the entire valley. The route and its named endpoint, as well as the installations, shape the character of this destination. Unlike the Église Saint-Bernard, the focus here is on the connection between art and an outdoor route.

Glasswork and tours

At Vitrerie Siebering, glass is approached from a different angle. The workshop specialises in contemporary glass creations, makes and restores stained-glass and artistic glasswork, and also restores classical works. The combination of contemporary creation and restoration complements the works in the church with a crafts-based perspective on glass. Guided tours are available on request.

A named tree

Another named place is the Chêne des Suédois. The old tree stands beside the road between Reyersviller and Siersthal. Its location sets it apart from the artworks in the church and on Schimberg: here, the specific point of interest is a tree by the road between the two places. This adds a distinct landscape landmark to the building and the forest path.

A culinary option

The Restaurant de la vallée adds a culinary option to the cultural and landscape highlights. It serves traditional cuisine with regional specialities, game dishes and seafood. If you would also like to factor local cuisine into your choice of stay, it offers a specific option alongside architecture, art and walking routes.

Planning your visit

The Schimberg Stations of the Cross are accessible year-round; nevertheless, check access again before your visit. A guided tour of Vitrerie Siebering requires a request, so you should confirm the date and availability in advance. Menu details at the Restaurant de la vallée may change; check the current selection if a particular dish is important to you.
