Thann - St Thiébault

In the center of Thann is the church of St-Thiébault, the most important Gothic building in Alsace after Strasbourg Cathedral. The very fine tower, 76m/250ft high, is modeled on the tower of Freiburg Cathedral (southwest Germany). On the west front is a large double doorway (14th-15th C) with rich sculptural decoration, and the north doorway (15th C) also has fine sculptured work. The interior is notable for its 16th C carved woodwork, 15th C stained glass and richly carved choir stalls.
