Abbatiale Saints-Pierre-et-Paul d'Ottmarsheim: an 11th-century Romanesque jewel on the Alsace Romanesque Route, waiting to be discovered!
Standing proudly on Alsace's Romanesque Route, Ottmarsheim's Saints-Pierre-et-Paul abbey church has defied the test of time. Born at the instigation of Rodolphe d'Altenbourg, ancestor of the Habsburgs, it was consecrated in 1049 by an Alsatian pope, Leo IX. Its octagonal architecture, inspired by Aachen, blends early Christian, Byzantine and Ottonian influences. Devastated, pillaged, rebuilt, it is constantly being reborn. Today, its stones whisper a thousand years of history, and its theatrical tours plunge you into the heart of a fascinating past.

Nous avons ainsi pu profiter d'une visite théâtralisée du lieu, avec des guides en costume d'époque, incarnant le couple Rodolphe et Cunégonde d'Altenbourg. Ils évoquent avec truculence les légendes de l'abbatiale et racontent de nombreuses anecdotes sur le trésor caché et les sinistres liés aux causes les plus diverses.
