The development of Saint-Nabor is closely linked to the Niedermünster monastery , the ruins of which are located nearby on the slope of Mount Odile. The place is named after Saint Nabor , a Christian martyr who was beheaded around the year 300.
An eleven kilometer long railway line between Rosheim and Saint-Nabor had been in operation since 1902 . In 1954 the passenger train service was stopped, in 2002 also the freight service.
