Rouffach - Notre Dame de l'Assomption

Rouffach - Notre Dame de l'Assomption
The architecture of Notre Dame de l'Assomption, the parish church of Rouffach, about 20kms south of Colmar, is a mixture of romanesque and gothique style.

The pretty huge building suffered heavy damage during the French
Revolution.

There are some interesting romanesque carvings on the walls of the older parts of "Notre Dame de l'Assomption".

Here the carver "reused" his idea, using beams protruding out of the wall. This time, there are two (half) lions. The lions are a little clumsy, compared to the man leaning on beams, on the other wall.
