Saint Leger Church, Guebwiller
This late Romanesque parish church was built from 1182 to 1235 under the impulse of the Abbot of Murbach, replacing a chapel located in the same place. Several additions and modifications have taken place over the centuries, such as the five-sided apse, or the upper parts of the choir.
About this building
The facade of the two towers, the open porch and the octagonal bell tower were completed as soon as the church was built. The harmonious architecture of the building distinguishes it from other Romanesque churches in Alsace, the construction of which has often remained unfinished. Several additions and modifications have taken place over the centuries, such as the five-sided apse, or the upper parts of the choir.
