Église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, Rouffach, Gothic church in Rouffach, France

The church features a combination of yellow and pink sandstone, reaching 68 meters in height with an octagonal tower at its center point.

Construction began in 1001, with major modifications during the 13th century when it became the first Gothic church in the Alsace region.

The church holds the International Musicalta Festival during summer, bringing together musicians for performances in its stone walls.

The current restoration project requires 8 million euros, with fundraising efforts collecting 22,399 euros in recent contributions and 124,475 euros in previous donations.

The church tower remains incomplete since 1870 when construction halted during the Franco-Prussian War, creating an asymmetrical western facade.
