Visit a Gothic building to admire humanist epitaphs, sculpted keystones and beautiful stained glass windows

The Gothic edifice, built in several phases between 1220 and 1500, stands on much earlier foundations. It features humanist epitaphs, including that of Beatus Rhenanus in the narthex, and a holy water font with the Habsburg eagle emblem. The Jerome Kruch pulpit, supported by Samson's shoulders, was completed in 1619. Look up and gaze at the sculpted keystones, but above all at the choir's beautiful stained-glass windows, including three dating back to the 15th century.

Construcción religiosa de estilo gótico edificada entre los siglos VIII y XV siendo originalmente una capilla bautismal levantada sobre los restos de una gran rotonda que fue descubierta entre los años 1876 y 1902 al excavar la cripta.

De planta en cruz latina cuenta con tres naves y un crucero, fue diseñada por tres arquitectos: John Obrecht (alcalde de la localidad en 1401), Matthis (de 1400 a 1410) y Erhart Kindelinentre (de 1415 a 1422) a quién se le atribuye los tres tramos del ábside. Hubo un cuarto, Conrad Sifer, que construyó una mampara entre 1489 y 1490, pero fue destruida durante la Revolución Francesa.

Lleva el nombre de San Jorge desde 1500 y es famosa por sus árboles de Navidad colgados, tradición que se remonta a 1521. Fue declarada monumento histórico en 1848 encontrándose en buen estado de conservación (actualmente se están realizando obras de restauración del cerramiento y de la cubierta).

Costruita prevalentemente in stile gotico come la maggior parte di quelle nelle zone limitrofe, a partire dal XIII secolo ha subito diversi lavori di ristrutturazione. Gli ambienti sono quelli classici delle chiese del medesimo stile con ampie vetrate multicolore, imponenti colonnato interni ed arcate.
