Facts and practical information

The parish church Saints-Pierre-et-Paul is a Romanesque church in Rosheim in the Bas-Rhin. It is one of the most important stages of the Romanesque road of northern Alsace.

The pink and yellow sandstone building was built around 1150, the transept crossing and the bell tower were raised from 1286, in Gothic style. The work began with the apse, which is still the most richly decorated part. Some of the sculptures were removed or damaged during the French Revolution.

The interior of the church is small and simple and impresses above all by its harmonious proportions and the deliberate contrast between the large blocks and the narrower stones of the walls. The main ornamentation is found on the carved capitals, including the famous "head capital" with its 21 human figures. The organ, built in 1733, is the work of André Silbermann.

The building has been classified as a historical monument since 1840.
