Le Liebfrauenberg, Goersdorf

History

Although the complex was enlarged at the beginning of the 16th century, it was destroyed during the time of the Reformation. Rebuilt and enlarged in the 18th century, it became the manor where Jean Baptiste Boussingault, a famous chemist, lived in the 19th century. He was a professor of chemistry at Lyons and later professor of agriculture and analytical chemistry at the Paris Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers. He is known for his research on the nitrogen cycle. Boussingault’s experiments, however, were not limited to agriculture; his research also included work on atomic weights and the properties of steel alloys.

In 1954 the association “Maison de l’Eglise” bought the property and
converted it into a conference center. It hosts groups, families and young
people and organizes activities throughout the year.
