Notre Dame Church in Altkirch

Notre Dame is the third church built on top of the hill in Altkirch. This first place of Christian worship in the region was named ""Alta kirche"" (upper church) because of its geographical location.
It contains some beautiful works of art: a beautiful 15th century Pieta, a set of 4 stone statues of great beauty, ""Christ on the Mount of Olives"", a twelfth century baptismal font, a thirteenth century keystone. There are also beautiful paintings including ""Assumption of the Virgin"" by Gustave Dauphin, ""The dying Christ"" by Jean-Jacques Henner, ""The betrothal of Mary and Joseph"" after Raphael, etc.
The 14 Stations of the Cross have a novel specificity: on the right side they are represented in German because produced after 1870 when Alsace became German, but on the left side in French, reconstructed after the destruction of the 1914-18 war when Alsace became French.
