Saint-Pancrace Church

Saint-Pancrace Church, although its lower parts contain remnants of an earlier building dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, owes its current structure to a reconstruction carried out in 1830. This transformation was entrusted to architect Osterrieth, who based his work on plans by Samain. The bell tower, attached to the choir with a flat apse, is notably narrower than the nave, creating a striking architectural contrast between these two parts of the building.

The side altars house paintings created in the early 18th century by the painter Joseph Sorg, in a style characteristic of the reign of Louis XIV. These works, depicting notably the Annunciation and Saint Attale, may have been transferred from the former Saint-Étienne Church in Strasbourg. Their style shows remarkable similarities with the creations of Jacques Bergerat, made between 1699 and 1702 for Strasbourg Cathedral, thus enhancing their historical and artistic value.
