DESCRIPTION :         
Former 14th century Cistercian abbey and its chapel. This set of buildings and outbuildings to be renovated, totalling 1470m2, is located in the historic and pedestrian heart of Kaysersberg.  The chapel - a real gem of a property - has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1946 and is eligible for the Mh law, one of the most advantageous schemes for highly taxed taxpayers. Unoriented, with a canted choir and a ceiling with visible joists, it is architecturally similar to the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, which dates from the same period. Its gothic lattice windows are remarkable. According to historical works, it was built at the expense of a nobleman from Kaysersberg in 1391, Wetzel Berwart, who donated it and the adjacent courtyard to the abbey. His tombstone from 1396 remains in the nave.  The Old Abbey House: This building has a surface area of 470m2 spread over 5 levels, including an attic, and could be the subject of an Mh classification. The raised ground floor and the first floor date from the 15th century, the second floor was probably added in the 16th century as can be seen from the differences in the size of the corner chains. The semi-buried, barrel-vaulted basement housed one of the wine-making cellars.  The operating premises: the main building's porch is extended by a footbridge giving access to a house used for living purposes. In the basement, there are 3 cellars of different levels, including a bottling room, accessible on the same level from the courtyard.  The outbuildings: Various buildings, which can be converted, complete the property: a barned awning topped by a garage, an old stable overhung by a superb hay barn in a good state of preservation and a built structure to be rebuilt adjoining the chapel.  Investors looking for a renovation project with great potential should be aware of this property, which is encouraged by a municipality that is keen to enhance the residential quality of the village.

SITUATION :
Kaysersberg, a historic and picturesque village located in the heart of a dynamic border region, was elected "Favourite Village of the French", which has attracted 700,000 tourists per year.  An illuminated landmark on the Alsace wine route, the village surprises with the charm of its medieval sites grouped around the church and the fortified bridge dominated by the castle, a vestige of the former free city of the Decapolis. Its strategic position revives the memory of the Roman road that once linked Alsace to Lorraine.  It is one of the most charming towns in Alsace with its cobbled streets and richly decorated half-timbered houses. The birthplace of Doctor Schweitzer is also known for its pleasant forest walks. The town, protected from all transit traffic, is exceptionally calm.
