Embark on the Sélestat Audio Tour: Echoes of Humanists and Hidden Heritage

A town where ancient monks hid forbidden texts beneath colored glass and silent stones whispers secrets to those who know where to listen. Sélestat thrives on the edge of legend and history with stories written in alleyways and stained glass.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks layers of Sélestat missed by hurried travelers. Roam at your own pace and let voices from centuries past share tales of splintered faith, rival churches, lost manuscripts, and buried ambitions.

Who risked everything by smuggling heretical works into the Humanist Library? Why did a single night near Sainte-Foy Church leave the town forever altered? What peculiar dispute erupted over a handful of ancient bricks at St. George's Church?

Move through cobbled streets and shadowed cloisters. Feel the intensity of forgotten struggles and the rush of uncovering stories the city would rather conceal.

Let Sélestat reveal its soul. Press play and step into the legend.
