Sélestat - Sainte-Foy
The "Église Sainte-Foy de Sélestat" was built in only 10 years between 1170 and 1180, succeeding an earlier ("Holy Sepulcre")church from around 1085 built by Hildegard von Egisheim. Of this church only the rectangular crypt (and some cavings) remained. Hildegard´s grandson Frederick I Barbarossa funded the construction of the new church, that was the center of a benedictine monastry, depending from the abbey St. Foy in Conques.
A mermaid carved from a greyish stone under the roof of the central apse. This carving may originate from the older structure, as most other carvings are from red sandstone - and look much "smoother".
