Guebwiller - Eglise Saint-Léger
The construction of the church Saint-Léger (= Leodegar, Ludger) in Guebwiller started in 1182 and took about 100 years. The building, built from red local sandstone, is pretty huge and the style is between late romanesque and early gothic. I have the impression, that the architects of this church obviously spent a lot of time in Rosheim, studying the church Saints-Pierre-et-Paul, that is only about 30 years older.
There are two heads, carrying the lintel under the tympanum. This is the right one. The carver was not one of the really genius masters working in the Alsace during that time. The face seems a bit "uninspired". The type of beard is strange but very unique. Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As the beholders liked that stylish beard, the carver gave another sculpture the same beard:
