In Horburg there was a castle of the Dukes of Württemberg, which however was completely destroyed; only one portal can still be seen at today's town hall.
In 1748 the county of Horburg came under French sovereignty and was officially ceded to France in 1793 with the other possessions on the left bank of the Rhine. Horbourg and Wihr-en-Plaine were two autonomous municipalities until their merger in 1973.[3] Horbourg-Wihr has a very rich history with the remains of Roman, Merovingian, and the lords of Horbourg[4] and of Württemberg (1324–1796) in Horbourg, and Habsburg and Ribeaupierre/Rappoltstein in Wihr.
In Wihr-en-Plaine there is the 12th century Church of Saint-Michel, shared by the Catholics and Lutherans, with murals from the 16th century.
