Église de l'Emm, Catholic church in Sondernach, France

The church building features pink sandstone walls, a large bell tower, and yellow marble plaques listing names of fallen soldiers along its nave arcades.

Built in 1928 on the site of a 15th-century chapel that was destroyed during the Battle of Metzeral in June 1915.

The church serves as both a parish center for Metzeral-Sondernach and a memorial site dedicated to soldiers who died in World War One.

Annual memorial services take place on the Sunday before November 11, bringing together veterans, standard-bearers, and community members.

The facade displays an inscription in French stating 'A nos vaillants soldats, l'Alsace reconnaissante' acknowledging the sacrifice of military personnel.
