Eglise Notre-Dame de l'Assomption

In Romano-Gival style, it shows the evolution of religious architecture from the 11th to the 19th century. In the transept, the oldest part is attached to the nave with three bays flanked by aisles with six bays each. One notices the alternation of the pillars: simple and in bundles. Beautiful altar of the Virgin Mary from the 15th century at one of the pillars. Nave ended by a west massif with two towers (unfinished south, north 1875). The mutilated portal of its sculptures from the Revolution is surmounted by a very beautiful rose window

The façade is the work of Woelfelin de Rouffach in the 14th century. On the square of the transept rises the spire (former bell tower). The polygonal choir is from the 13th century. The canopies are from the 19th century. Beautiful sculptures at the door of the former sacristy: paschal lamb and the "smile of Rouffach" (young man and girl).
