"Château Le Bel, in the footsteps of our ancient heritage
The presence of the oil industry in the past has generated a number of activities that can still be identified in the surrounding landscape, notably through the housing and buildings still visible today.
With your guide, discover this ancient heritage: the farm - château Le Bel.
This building, listed as a historic monument in 2008, was an original and pioneering project at the time of its construction. At once a farm, a cradle for the study and exploitation of oil, the birthplace of agricultural chemistry and an experimental agronomic station, the Château Le Bel farm is one of the last architectural testimonies to an exceptional scientific and industrial adventure in Alsace, whose implications and consequences go beyond regional boundaries.
