Church Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, Romanesque abbey church in Ottmarsheim, France.

The Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul church features an octagonal central plan with a dome and tower built from yellow-gray limestone and pink Vosges sandstone.

Count Rudolf von Altenburg established the abbey in 1030, and Pope Leo IX, who originated from Alsace, consecrated the church in 1049.

The church structure draws inspiration from the Palatine Chapel of Aix-la-Chapelle and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

The church offers guided tours in French and German languages throughout the year, with free parking spaces for cars, coaches, and bicycles.

The building contains restored frescoes from the 11th and 15th centuries, revealed during renovation work following multiple fires throughout its history.
