Saint-Maurice Church

Église Saint-Maurice (Church of Saint Maurice) is notable for its medieval tower and for being one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in Alsace.

The church was first mentioned in 1165. The basis of the tower is Romanesque (late 12th-century). It is decorated with reliefs on the outside and with frescos on the inside. The upper part of the tower is Gothic and dates from the end of the 15th century. The rest of the church was rebuilt according to plans (1843, 1844) by the architect Charles Morin (1810–1897), and inaugurated in 1848. In 1888, the nave was covered with a wooden barrel vault.

The pipe organ is a 1762 work by Johann Andreas Silbermann. It was moved into this church from Old Saint Peter's Church, Strasbourg, in 1865.
