History This is where the priest Ellerbach (1850-1924) carried out his first tests with the curative method of Doctor Kneipp, while saving the souls of the parish. Old Landmark of Geispitzen |

Church Saint John the Baptist The parishioners of Geispitzen formerly went to the mother-church of Hochkirch (see Sierentz) but possessed since 1302 a chapel dedicated to Saint German. The current church was built in 1807 and the bell-tower in 1927. A recent restoration has left in place only the beautiful stalls of the abbey of Lucelle, identical to those of Raedersdorf. |
Houses and landscape Geispitzen which counts many houses of the 17th and 18th centuries, several with galleries, deserves a visit by foot starting at the Rue de la Liberation then on to the Rue du General Koenig. Before returning towards the church, one will notice at no 25, a house dated 1608 with, above the gate, a shield which recalls the trades followed by its occupants. At number 11, one will see a beautiful door frame in the shape of a basket handle. |
