Église des Dominicains, Gothic monastery church in Colmar, France
The Église des Dominicains features high stone vaults, pointed arches, and large stained glass windows that illuminate the interior church space.
Construction of the Église des Dominicains began in 1283 following the arrival of Dominican friars in Colmar, with completion in the first half of the 14th century.
The church displays Martin Schongauer's 1473 triptych 'La Vierge au Buisson de Roses,' transferred from the Collégiale Saint-Martin in 1973.
Visitors can access the church on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 10 AM to 1 PM and 3 PM to 6 PM, with adult admission priced at 2 euros.
The church underwent a transformation in 1720 with the addition of Baroque decorations, marking a shift from its original minimalist Dominican design.
