St. George's Church, Haguenau, Gothic church monument in Haguenau, France

St. George's Church is a Gothic church building located in Haguenau that spans about 67 meters in length and 22 meters in width. Its structure displays characteristic Gothic features such as pointed arches, stone vaults, and vertical lines that define the architectural style.

A Romanesque church was built from 1143 and consecrated in 1189, replacing an earlier chapel. Between 1210 and 1230 a transept and octagonal crossing tower were added, and the Gothic choir, built by masons from Strasbourg Cathedral, was consecrated on 5 September 1283. The nave vault followed in 1609–1611; the church was damaged in 1945 and rebuilt until 1963.

The church is dedicated to Saint George, not Saint John the Baptist. In the Middle Ages, soldiers placed themselves under his protection before battle, and the "Teufelskrallen" (devil's claws) between the Chörel and the Jakobskapelle may come from their swords. The Chörel at the south entrance was a wooden canopy where couples were blessed and baptisms began.

The church stands on rue Saint-Georges in Haguenau, with the main entrance on the west facade and the south portal, near the former Chörel, opening onto the side. Look for the grooves cut into the buttress of the south transept, which once held the standard lengths of the free imperial city. The building was rebuilt until 1963, so much of the interior stonework and the windows date from the post-war restoration.

Two bells cast in 1268 still hang in the octagonal crossing tower; they survived the 1945 bombardments that destroyed the spire, walls and vaults. Near the south portal, the buttress of the south transept holds grooves where the free imperial city's standard lengths were once set.
