Returning unharmed from the Crusades, the knight Henri de Müllenheim undertook the construction of a monastery for the Hermits of Saint William, an order of mendicant monks. The elongated building, consecrated in 1301 and realised in 1307, is the only remnant of this group.
Saint William's Church (Fr. Église Saint-Guillaume, Germ. Wilhelmskirche) is striking for its picturesque location on the bank of the Ill river, the lopsided character of its exterior, and its sumptuous interior combining the Gothic and Baroque styles.
The church is nowadays used by the Lutheran Church.
