Breisacher Münster St. Stephan, Breisach

The Breisach Stephansmünster is a Romanesque-Gothic church and landmark of the town of Breisach am Rhein.

Located on the Münsterberg, this landmark is visible far beyond the city limits. The two different church towers of the three-nave building are striking, which - untypical for a Christian sacred building - are located in the choir area. The church dates from the late Romanesque period of the 12th century and was extended until the Gothic period of the 15th century. The church, named after St. Stephen, is used by the Catholic parish of St. Stephen. Breisach's patron saints, Gervasius and Protasius, are also venerated here. Breisach Cathedral is known for its interior decoration, which is significant in terms of art history, for example, for the mural The Last Judgment by Martin Schongauer, which covers more than 100 square meters, and especially the high altar from the workshop of Master H. L.
