Places and monuments

In 1686, Louis XIV entrusts to Vauban the construction of a Fortification in Extremely-Louis located, at the time, on an island between two arms of the the Rhine. The strong main thing, in the north of the village, called strong Square was reinforced by two heads of bridge, one on Alsatian bank (strong Alsace) and the other on the bank badoise (fort-Marquisat). Besieged on several occasions during the 18th century, the strong Square is dismantled in 1818. It is repurchased by the commune in 1890. Today only remain some vestiges of the strong Square and strong Alsace: sections of wall, ditches, liftings of ground.
