- The Saint-Vit chapel is dated to 1352. It was destroyed in 1806 and rebuilt in the same year. It is very popular with tourists.
- The bridge over the Rhine with riveted steel struts in neo-renaissance style . It was destroyed and rebuilt twice during World War II. However, the architectural style is not uniform over the entire length of the bridge, because when the nearby Iffezheim barrage was built in the 1970s on the German side, an additional strut framework construction made of steel was created over the new shipping canal. Originally a railway bridge, today it is also essential for border traffic with automobiles. However, trucks are not allowed to use this bridge. The border crossing of the Iffezheim barrage is planned for this purpose two kilometers south .
- The Héronnière , a biotope in a gravel pit.
