Travel Guide Schlierbach

The first mention of this village of about neut 877 souls goes back to the year of our era, in an official document. Its name means silt or swamp. Other historians retain the evocation of a stream or a watercourse to explain the patronymic of this village from which you can see the foothills of the Swiss Jura. In 1364, a religious hospice was born in Schlierbach to serve as a cottage for the preachers of passage. Between 1445 and 1468, the village costs a war between the Dynasty, lords of Du, and the Swiss confederate. Several looting and fires destroy Schlierbach. The steeple was erected in 1576. In 1633, in the midst of Thirty Years'War, a new Incendie fire caused by the Dynasty defeated the Village. Fifteen years later, the Treaty of Westphalia enters into force and makes Sundgau a French territory. The presbytery was built only in 1724. Closer to us, while Schlierbach, then German since the German invasion of 1813, lives away from the First World War, 1940 and the French debacle forces people to flee from the side of Lauzun in Lot-et-Garonne.
