Niederhaslach Church

The Saint Florent collegiate church features a refined portal from 1310 with a tympanum illustrating Saint Florentius and gargoyles along its exterior walls.

The construction of this religious building began in 1274 to replace a 7th-century structure, but faced setbacks including a fire in 1287 and architect's death in 1330.

The church contains medieval stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th centuries, displaying biblical stories and saints' lives through colored panels.

The church, located on Place de l'Église in Niederhaslach, maintains its status as a classified historical monument since 1846 and remains open for religious services.

During summer solstice, the 30-degree orientation allows sunlight to shine through the 13th-century apse windows, creating color effects regardless of direct sunlight.
