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.
