On the Wissembourg ramparts

" L’édification au VIIe siècle de l'Abbatiale Saints Pierre et Paul permit la naissance puis la prospérité de Wissembourg. Pour se défendre, la ville s’entoura de fortifications et de 4 châteaux. "

The construction in the 7th century of the Abbey Church Saints Peter and Paul allowed the birth and prosperity of Wissembourg. To defend itself, the city was surrounded by fortifications and 4 castles. If only one of the four castles remains, the castle St Paul, north of the city in the vineyard, the abbey and the fortifications are still visible around the historic city.
