Explore the historic Ettenheim guided by Cardinal Rohan.

Cardinal Rohan

My family controlled the position of Cardinaland Prince Bishop for one hundred years. During this time we have been contributory determinants to the destiny of France. My most glorious years were in Strasbourg, but I passed my most pleasant days in Ettenheim, because it was there that I found peace and tranquillity during stormy times. Occasionally it takes me back in spirit to the colourful corners and homely alleys of Ettenheim. Accompany now, if you want to, on a stroll throughone of Baden’s most charming cities and find impressive timber framework, baroque art and tradition etched in stone on every step of the way through the home of my old days. More than two centuries have since passed. The tribulations of that difficult time have long been forgotten, but the charm of my last parish post (‘Upper Dominion’) still remains today.
