The town of Guebwiller is located on the Alsace wine route at an altitude of 300 meters, at the foot of the Grand Ballon formerly called «Ballon de Guebwiller», the highest peak of the Vosges massif (1424m).
Labeled «Country of Art and History» and classified Tourist Commune, the city of Guebwiller (Gawiller in Alsace) is animated by a dynamic of valorization of architecture and heritage.

Nicknamed «the city of three churches», Guebwiller is home to monuments displaying a variety of architectural styles: the Romanesque church of Saint-Léger, the former Dominican Convent (Gothic, currently cultural meeting center).
