Rouffach - Notre Dame de l'Assomption

Rouffach - Notre Dame de l'Assomption
The architecture of Notre Dame de l'Assomption, the parish church of Rouffach, about 20kms
south of Colmar, is a mixture of romanesque and gothique style. Work on the building started
within the 11th century and continued until 1508. The pretty huge building suffered heavy damage during the French Revolution, so what is seen today is as well a result of the restauration work undertaken in the 19th century.

Looking east through the long nave towards the choir. The structure of the nave is romanesque.
The choir is gothic. Opposite the pulpit is the "flamboyant" gothic tabernacle.
