Rosheim - Saints-Pierre-et-Paul

The construction of the "Église Saints-Pierre-et-Paul" started around 1150. The church is known for the carvings. Though some of these got damaged during the French Revolution, most of them are still in place. Size and the quality of some of them is really breathtaking.

At least four different, very experienced stonemasons or carvers have worked here. One of these masters carved this smooth mermaid under the roof tiles. The mermaid is one of the many smaller carvings that dot the outer walls of the church.
