Rosheim - St Pierre-et St Paul

The church of St-Pierre-et-St-Paul in Rosheim is one of the finest Romanesque churches in Alsace; the church is first mentioned in 1051, but the present building dates from 1150-1160. Particularly charming are the friezes round the exterior and the unusual animal and human figures in the pediments. The 12th C Heidehuss (Heathen House) is the only stone-built house of the Renaissance period in Alsace. The Town Hall and the fountain in the market square date from 1775.
