Saint William's Church

Saint William's Church exhibits a single nave design with high windows illuminating the polygonal choir through its brick construction at the Ill riverbank.

Knight Henri de Mullenheim established the church in 1301 as part of a monastery after returning from the Crusades to express gratitude for his survival.

The church serves as a performance venue for classical music, particularly Bach's compositions, due to its exceptional acoustic properties developed since 1800s.

Located at coordinates 48.582083, 7.757778, the church maintains regular opening hours and functions as both a religious center and concert space.

The Wilhelmer Choir, founded in 1885, performs in this church under the guidance of notable conductors including Wilhelm Furtwangler and John Eliot Gardiner.
