The bell tower, listed(classified) in conformance with(for) historic monuments in 1841, is the unique(only) vestige of the Romance church of the second quarter of the XIIth century. It is the knight Burkhard of Gueberschwihr, founder of the abbey of Marbach, which is undoubtedly at its origin. The rest of the building was rebuilt between 1874 and 1878 under the direction of the architect Jean-Baptiste Schacre father (1808-1876). He(It) raised(drew up) plans in a neo-Romanic style, with many(a lot) essential and a big(great) concern(marigold) of harmony with the old(former) bell tower of the preserved XIIth century.
