Rosheim - Église 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 artistisc styles. I seems like four master-carvers were given a chance
here, to show their talents and so they used this as a showcase.

The side portal of the church.

The tympanon over the two doors got lost over the centuries. The rows of archivolts
under the arch still exist. The portal is flanked by two different, masterly carved pillars
with unique capitals, seen on the next photo.
