St Trophimus' Church, Eschau, Romanesque church in Eschau, France

St Trophimus is a Romanesque church with pale walls and a red tiled roof; its rounded apse has tall arched windows separated by slender columns. The nave floor was originally about 1.25 m lower and the windows smaller. A concrete bell tower was built 80 m to the southeast in 1987.

This church began as a Benedictine abbey founded in 770 and received sacred relics from Rome just a few years later. These early connections gave it importance in the region.

The interior contains religious sculptures and stained glass windows that came from a former Dominican church in Strasbourg. These artworks reflect the different periods and changes the building has experienced over time.

The church stands in Eschau, in the Bas-Rhin department south of Strasbourg. The 1987 concrete bell tower is 80 m to the south-east of the church, not attached to it. The medicinal garden restored in 1987 lies opposite the church. The building is classified as a Monument historique.

Excavations uncovered remains of a medieval cloister that once stood near the main church, with some pieces now displayed in a Strasbourg museum. These findings reveal how elaborate the original monastery complex was.
