Founded in 723 by Saint Sigibald, bishop of Metz, the Benedictine abbey church received the remains of Saint Adelphus in 826, establishing it as a pilgrimage destination.

The interior houses tapestries from the late 15th century that illustrate the life and miracles of Saint Adelphus through detailed narrative scenes.

Located in the Bas-Rhin department of northeastern France, the church opens its doors to visitors interested in exploring its architectural elements and religious artifacts.
