Dambach-la-Ville

Dambach-la-Ville (French pronunciation: [dɑ̃bak la vil]; German: Dambach) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.

[3] It lies northwest of Sélestat, on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains.

In the thirteenth century, the Bishop of Strasbourg, Berthold I of Teck [de], made Dambach annex two local villages, Altenwiller and Oberkirch.

The Chapelle of Saint-Sébastien [fr] is located in what used to be Oberkirch.

Its vineyards produce one of the finest Alsacian wines: the Grand Cru Frankstein [fr].
