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.

Standing near the choir in the nave facing west. The architectural structure of the basilica is clear and sober, not spectacular.

A clerestory and a still simple vault, the ribs end in corbels. The side entrance is to the left. The door stands open and so light flows in. On the right is the "chapiteau à têtes".
