Église Saint-Léger de Guebwiller, Romanesque parish church in Guebwiller, France.
The Saint-Leger Church features a massive porch tower, an octagonal crossing tower, and a nave with alternating strong and weak pillars made of Vosges sandstone.
Initial construction began in 1182, with subsequent modifications including a Gothic apse in the 14th century and side aisles added during the 16th century.
The entrance tympanum displays Jesus Christ flanked by Saint Leger and the Virgin Mary, representing medieval religious symbolism through detailed stone carving.
The church opens daily for visitors at Place Saint-Leger in Guebwiller, with guided tours available to explore the architectural and historical elements.
The church maintains Carolingian traditions through its high chapel above the porch, which served as a gallery for distinguished guests during religious ceremonies.
