Atop a gentle hill, St. Stephan Church watches over the vineyards of Munzingen. Isn’t it a charming sight? St. Stephan may not boast the soaring spire of Freiburg Minster, but it holds its own unique charm. This church, nestled among the vines, tells a story of faith and community deeply rooted in the land. St. Stephan’s history is intertwined with the village itself. While its exact founding date remains a mystery, records indicate a church existed here from Freiburg’s earliest days, around 1120.

It’s a place where generations have gathered to worship, celebrate, and find solace among the rolling hills.
