Église Saint-Vit de Griesbach, Religious building in Gundershoffen, France

Saint-Vit Church is a neo-Romanesque building with a rectangular nave ending in a choir tower whose ground floor was vaulted and later given a flat ceiling. The tower and corner quoins are made of pink sandstone ashlar, contrasting with the pale cream walls and red-brown stone quoins visible at the corners. The gable end has a small round window near the top and two larger round windows below, while the side wall has two tall arched windows.

Construction began in 1492 and included a eucharistic cabinet that survives from that period. The building was reconstructed in 1761, a date inscribed on the entrance doors that marks the structure visitors see today.

The village accepted the Reformation in 1564, and the simultaneum introduced in 1685 still governs the building: Catholics and Lutherans hold services here in turn. The parish was long an annex of Mertzwiller before being attached to Gundershoffen. The name Griesbach refers to the hamlet where the church stands, at 47 rue Principale.

The church stands at 47, rue Principale in the Griesbach hamlet, a short way from the centre of Gundershoffen in northern Alsace. Visitors reach it on foot along the village street; the cream walls, red-brown stone quoins and steep red tiled roof mark the building from outside.

The stained glass windows were designed by Ernest Paul Michel Gustave Werlé and display design patterns also found in other Protestant churches throughout the region. This artistic connection links the building to a broader network of religious structures nearby.
