Church of Saint Peter and Paul of Andlau
Church of Saint Peter and Paul of Andlau, Romanesque church in Andlau, France.
The Saint Peter and Paul Church extends 66 meters in length and contains a portal with numerous carved sculptures depicting biblical narratives and daily life scenes.
The church received consecration from Pope Leo IX in 1049 and became part of the Andlau Abbey complex, serving the Benedictine monastic community through centuries.
A collection of 48 stone slabs from the 12th century forms a frieze that illustrates scenes of Roman life, providing insights into medieval society.
The church welcomes visitors every day between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with guided tours available for groups through advance reservations throughout the year.
The western portal features detailed religious carvings considered the most elaborate in the Alsace region, including a 15th-century Virgin and Child statue.

The Alsace Wine Route connects dozens of villages that have preserved their medieval structures. Half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries line cobblestone streets, while town walls and watchtowers testify to the region's strategic importance. Many villages feature Romanesque churches with sculptural decoration and historic town halls. Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, and Eguisheim display typical examples of this architecture. Painted wooden beams on houses, old market squares, and vineyards on surrounding slopes characterize these settlements. Castle ruins such as Haut-Koenigsbourg occupy hilltops overlooking the Rhine plain. The region also maintains religious buildings like Murbach Abbey or the church of Thann with its Gothic portal. Local museums present medieval manuscripts and liturgical objects. This cultural landscape combines winemaking tradition with architectural heritage spanning several centuries.
