Description

Known under the name of " Morswilre " as of 1148. The village, renamed Niedermorschwihr at the 16th century in order to be able to distinguish it from Obermorschwihr which is close to Eguisheim, belonged one half to the Empire and for the other half to the " Habsbourg ". No visible vestige remaining, the thesis affirming that the churchyard would have been fortified is contestable.

Located on the three banns of Ammerschwihr, Niedermorschwihr and Turckheim are the " Trois-Epis ", quiet resort sheltering a health centre of altitude and rest cure.

The " Trois Epis " were founded from a pilgrimage dedicated to the Virgin, founded 1491: indeed, the Virgin is said to have appeared to a blacksmith of Orbey, holding in a hand three ears of corn, in the other one a hailstone (forecast of good or a bad harvest depending on whether people would convert or not).

The pilgrimage started again quickly, after being stopped by the Thirty Year's War.

A priory founded in 1651 was done away by the French Revolution.

The pilgrimage however still exists.
