Rouffach - Notre Dame de l'Assomption

The architecture of Notre Dame de l'Assomption, the parish church of Rouffach, about 20kms south of Colmar, is a mixture of romanesque and gothique style. The pretty huge building suffered heavy damage during the French Revolution.

Standing next to the damaged tomb slab of Knight Werner Falk. The photo I took is pretty poor, but Phillipe Biron took a nice one:

Looking through the aisle.

It takes a lot of work, to preserve such an old building and keep in a good condition. Not only architects, engineers, experienced plumbers and bricklayers are involved. There are people, who mop the floors and poise feather dusters on very long bamboo sticks to clean the capitels. Without these voluntary people we would not be able to see all the beautiful churches.

Merci beaucoup!
