Abbaye Saint-Cyriaque d'Altorf
Abbaye Saint-Cyriaque d'Altorf, Benedictine abbey in Altorf, France
The Saint Cyriaque Abbey features a Romanesque nave from the 12th century and a Baroque transept with choir from the 18th century.
Founded in 974 by Count Hugh of Eguisheim, the abbey received monetary rights from Emperor Otto I and later gained relics from Pope Leo IX.
The wooden reliquary bust of Saint Cyriaque, dating from the 12th century, contains sacred remains and underwent multiple restorations until 1884.
The church building remains closed to visitors due to falling vault stones, while architects examine solutions for structural repairs.
The abbey maintained fish farming ponds in the 18th century, with stone reservoirs and feeding canals still visible on the grounds.
