À propos du lieu

Eglise Saint-Georges
Rue de l'Église, 67730 Châtenois
  • Bas-Rhin
  • Grand Est
The church of Saint-Georges has preserved its powerful Romanesque bell tower with twin bays. Its coronation with four corner watchtowers dates from 1530, entirely made of chestnut wood, and was probably used as a lookout. The nave and choir were built in 1759 and have almost original furnishings.
To be seen in particular inside:
* The Silbermann organ of 1765, very little modified, classified and restored in 1973,
* The beautiful processional cross in rosewood plated and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, dated 1763, from the convent of the Franciscans of Sélestat,
* An incomplete Holy Sepulchre from the end of the 15th century: the dead Christ is lying on a slab and three holy women are standing behind him in a painful attitude. Two guards accompany the whole,
* Tombstones of Baillis de Châtenois (16th to 18th century).
* Four polychrome paintings in relief, strongly inspired by the engravings of Albrecht Dürer. Two of them, made around 1520, are integrated into the altarpieces of
