The arms show the steeple of the village church, but this is not entirely correct (it is very similar to the current steeple, but not identical). Weyersheim has also carried the name "a la haute tour (the high tower)", but it is not clear now which tower that was. The book "le Patrimoine des Communes du Bas-Rhin" says it refers likely to either an 11<sup>th</sup> century church, or an earlier observation tower. The brief history of the town in "Weyersheim - Le XXe siècle en images" suggests it is from the chapel of St. Wolfgang, or an earlier tower at the chapel site (neither exist today). In any event, the image predates the current church in the village, the Saint-Michel church, built in 1784, and the image likely refers to an earlier church or tower. The current church was designed to fit both the image and the name "a la haute tour", and so today, people usually say that the image IS the current church steeple. | The arms show the steeple of the village church, but this is not entirely correct (it is very similar to the current steeple, but not identical).
