St Trophimus' Church, Eschau, Romanesque church in Eschau, France
The stone church features traditional Romanesque architectural elements with a modern bell tower constructed in 1987 located 80 meters behind the main building.
Founded as a Benedictine abbey in 770 by Remigius of Strasbourg, the church received sacred relics of Saint Sophia directly from Pope Adrian I in 777.
The interior displays Gothic and Baroque statues of saints, Renaissance sculptures, and stained glass panels from the former Dominican church of Strasbourg.
The church remains an active parish, offering regular Catholic services and welcoming Russian Orthodox pilgrims who visit to venerate Saint Sophia's relics.
Archaeological excavations between 1866 and 1987 uncovered fragments of a 12th-century cloister, with some pieces now exhibited at the Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame.
