Hartmannswiller - Saint Blaise

Hartmannswiller - Saint Blaise
Saint-Blaise was burnt down by mercenaries in 1376, but got rebuilt in the 15th century. As the times were very rough the cementary then got fortified. Once a ditch run around the enclosing wall, that was then upto 5 metres high . In the mid 19th century the wall got lowered to 2,70 metres for security reasons.
