St. George's Church, Sélestat, Gothic church in Sélestat, France.
The church measures 64.85 meters in length and rises 60 meters high, featuring numerous stained glass windows within its stone walls.
Construction started in 1220 on the site of a former Carolingian chapel where Charlemagne prayed during Christmas in 775.
The Renaissance pulpit from 1619 displays carved Samson figures and stands upon two columns supporting a painted and gilded stone vat.
The church remains open to visitors throughout the year, with guided tours available through advance group reservations at the tourist office.
The church housed watchmen at its tower top to monitor fire hazards, with one guard receiving punishment in 1886 for missing the quarter-hour bell.
