Culture and sights
Despite the bombing during World War II , some properties have survived from the 18th century. Particularly interesting was the Gasthaus zur Linde with figures and reliefs from 1711, located in the center of the village. In addition to the rural reliefs on the window walls, which depict peasants at work, the unique plaster coffers between the cover beams with religious symbols were worth seeing. Unfortunately, the building, which is worth preserving, was largely rebuilt and changed around 2010, so that the historical original can no longer be recognized. The reliefs from the window walls are at least built into the facade. Among the many Lorraine crosses is the oldest in the entire Bitsch region. It bears the year 1629 and is on the way to Schmittviller .
