About the location

Église Saint-Michel

Rue du Général Leclerc, 67110 Reichshoffen

Bas-Rhin
Grand Est

Classified as a Historic Monument since 1921, the church has several listed movables that make it a unique and interesting ensemble. Its bell tower rises to 68.9m high, making the church one of the highest in Alsace. Built in Vosges sandstone, its architecture is anchored in the neo-classical style and its interior decoration is of baroque inspiration. Its short duration (about ten years) gives it a remarkable unity of style.
