Église Saints-Pierre-et-Paul, Romanesque church in Rosheim, France

The church building features yellow and pink sandstone construction, with an octagonal bell tower rising above the crossing of the transept.

Construction of the Saints-Pierre-et-Paul church began in 1150, incorporating Rhine and Alsatian architectural traditions into its Romanesque design.

The church displays numerous stone sculptures, including representations of evangelists, mythical creatures, and a capital decorated with 21 human heads.

The church belongs to the Northern Alsace Romanesque Route and stands at 195 meters altitude, with the nearest train station 2 kilometers away.

The exterior walls contain carved figures of medieval royal advisers known as 'marmousets', with two of the original four sculptures remaining today.
