ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH

Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels

Biltzheim, former possession of the Habsburgs, is mentioned as early as 1275, but it was not until the 18th century that the Church of St. George was built there. It has many remarkable features, including a nave with side aisles dating from 1777 and a 19th-century porch tower.
