Harskirchen (French pronunciation: [aʁskiʁʃən]) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department and Grand Est region of north-eastern France. [3]
Harskirchen lies in the valley of the River Saar in the extreme northwest of the cultural and historical region of Alsace. The Canal des houillères de la Sarre, which connects the Canal de la Marne au Rhin in Gondrexange to the canalized Sarre in Sarreguemines, passes through the commune, west of the village centre.
Like many communities in French Alsace and the German upper Rhineland, Harskirhen has both a Lutheran and a Catholic church. The Lutheran church dates from the eighteenth century and is decorated in the Baroque style, while the nineteenth-century Catholic church is distinguished by its neo-Gothic tower.
