Rosheim - Saints-Pierre-et-Paul

Rosheim - Saints-Pierre-et-Paul
The construction of the "Église Saints-Pierre-et-Paul" started around 1150. The basilica-style church has the classical layout of a latin cross and is known for the carvings.

Size and the quality of some of them are really breathtaking.

There are different artistic styles here. I seems like four master-carvers were given a chance, to show their talents and so they used this church as a showcase.

Here is another of the masterly carved capitels.
