St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Wissembourg, Gothic church in Wissembourg, France.
The church extends 60 meters in length and 22 meters in width, featuring a square tower from the original Norman abbey church.
The religious complex originated as a Benedictine monastery in the 7th century and transformed into a secular collegiate church in 1524.
The interior contains a monumental 11-meter-high fresco of Saint Christopher, which stands as the largest painted human figure in France.
The church offers guided tours in French, German, and English, allowing visitors to explore the Gothic architecture and historical features.
The eastern bay of the church measures shorter than other sections, possibly due to construction methods or medieval architectural practices.
