An important religious site in Altkirch, the Prieuré Saint-Morand is worth seeing: Saint Morand's lie in the centre of the church and a relic. Lapidary cemetery.
The priory is open Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 5pm (a mass is celebrated on the last Sunday of the month, at 6pm)
The first mention of the site dates back to 1105, when Frédéric, Count of Ferrette, gave the priory to Hugues Sémur, abbot of Cluny. Saint Morand began officiating there in 1106.
He was responsible for establishing the Benedictine rule. For ten years, he travelled the region, multiplying conversions, healings and miracles.
On his death in 1115, he was buried in the center of the priory church that took his name. Saint-Morand was canonized at the end of the 12th century.
If you venture inside, you'll still find a recumbent statue of St. Morand and a reliquary donated in 1428 by Archduke Frederick of Tyrol.
In 1828, the priory was bought by the town of Altkirch and turned into a hospital. Today, the hospital still occupies the buildings thanks to restructuring and enlargement.
