Church of Saint Maurice, 18th-century Baroque church in Ebersmunster, France.

The Church of Saint Maurice features twin towers with green-glazed onion domes and a rectangular layout following medieval architectural traditions.

Built in 1727 under Peter Thumb's direction, this church replaced the original Roman-style structure destroyed during the Thirty Years War in 1632.

The ceiling paintings from 1730-1733 by Josef Mattes and Joseph Mages illustrate narratives about Saint Maurice and Saint Benedict.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours for groups through advance reservations, with public transport access from nearby stations.

The Andreas Silbermann organ from 1730 contains all its original pipework and produces mellower tones due to its larger pipe scale.
