Saint Martin Church

The church in Pfaffenheim deserves a thorough visit for its remarkable architectural features.

The nave, in neo-Gothic style, perfectly illustrates the 19th-century aesthetic.

Older, the former choir dates back to the early 13th century and features a design reminiscent of Basel Cathedral.

This choir actually marks the final transition between Romanesque and Gothic styles, a valuable testimony to the architectural evolution of the time.

Inside, a 12th-century baptismal font draws attention for its originality. Its sculpted base depicts a mermaid surrounded by three lions, offering a fascinating example of medieval art and its symbols.
