The French garden and the 26-faced sundial of Reinach
At Hirtzbach in the Sundgau, the vanished English garden of Château de Reinach was replaced by a simple composition à la française that shelters a polyhedral sundial of twenty-six faces, each telling local time — classified in 2000.

Lecture éditoriale
The Reinach family has owned the château since the fourteenth century; the present house was rebuilt in the early eighteenth century and restored under the Empire. The record states that the former English garden has disappeared and been replaced by a simple French-style composition, which holds a multi-faced sundial: twenty-six faces, each a dial, all giving local time, a scientific curiosity the record calls unique. The garden and three wrought-iron gates were listed in 1990; the façades and the polyhedral sundial in the garden were classified in 2000.
Recommandation
Twenty-six dials on one stone, all agreeing: the garden was laid out around it.
