Sélestat - Saint-Georges
Sélestat was probably not more than a village when Charlemagne stayed here over Christmas 775. Nowadays Sélestat claims to be the place of origin of the christmas-tree, based on an invoice from 1521.
St. George's Church has always served as the main parish church. Its construction started on the remains of a Carolingian chapel soon after 1200 and was completed at the beginning of the 15th century. Its design is pure Gothic. The choir, the last part to be completed, is the most remarkable element. The construction of the tower continued during the fifteenth century, The church had a rood screen by Conrad Sifer but was destroyed during the French Revolution.
Some of the stained glass windows by the choir survived the rough times and still contain sections dated between 1430 and 1460.
