Sainte-Foy Church of Sélestat

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sainte-Foy church, whose architecture is more reminiscent of Lorraine and Burgundy than Rhenish Romanesque, is an important part of the Romanesque route in Alsace and one of the oldest buildings in the city.
The three-towered Romanesque church is all that remains of an earlier priory that belonged to the Benedictine abbey of Sainte-Foy in Conques.

Saint-Georges Cathedral

Highlight • Other

Originally a baptistery of the eighth century located in the area of Charlemagne's Imperial Palace, the religious building has been rebuilt and expanded from the early thirteenth century. St. George's Church then underwent a major restoration campaign in the mid-nineteenth century, and then in the first half of the twentieth century.

The Church of Saint-Georges is also home to many statues and several exceptional paintings. Of particular interest is the 18th-century Madonna of Piety in polychrome wood, a group of six pink sandstone statues depicting St. George, St. Nicholas, St. Paul, St. Peter, St. Agnes and St. Catherine, or a Madonna with child. from the first half of the nineteenth century.

Sélestat Synagogue

Highlight • Religious Site

This building is the work of Alexandre Stamm (1835-1906), municipal architect of the city of Sélestat. The synagogue was inaugurated on September 3, 1890.

Built centrally like the Rhenish synagogues of the time, this synagogue has a very sober, neo-Romanesque decoration. The alternation of different stone layers, yellow sandstone and red bricks as well as the borders with colored sandstone give it a colorful appearance.

Destroyed by the Nazis in 1940, it was restored after the war without its original dome. During this restoration work, the former bath for ritual ablutions from 1836 was uncovered.
