On the market square stands the former grain hall (Halle aux blés) from 1554, which has been converted into a restaurant.[19]
After the Gothic Chapel Church, founded in the 13th century and originally called the 'Chapel of Our Lady,' was demolished in 1873,[20] the 60-meter-high tower next to the town hall (Hôtel de ville)[21] remained as the Chapel Tower (Tour de la Chapelle) from the 16th century. Above the fifth floor, it received a tracery parapet and a slate-covered helmet, so that it served the town as its belfry from then on.
After the old parish church was demolished in 1867,[22] the neo-Gothic Church of Saints Peter and Paul (Saints-Pierre-et-Paul) was built between 1867 and 1872. It is one of the largest neo-Gothic churches in all of Alsace. The elaborately designed and richly decorated interior features, among other things, medieval altars from the previous church and an important organ by Joseph Merklin. East of the choir is the Chapel of the Virgin with a Mount of Olives group from 1517.
The town once had 20 towers in the inner city wall, which is still largely preserved.
Of the Capuchin monastery in Oberehndorf, only the Capuchin church survived.
Above the town stands the monument to the Malgré-nous – the Alsatians from the canton of Obernai who were forcibly conscripted into the German Wehrmacht during World War II.
Château d'Oberkirch, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, renovated from 1843 to 1846
In the town park stands a sequoia tree, approximately 40 meters tall, planted in the 1850s.
