The Michelin Guide's Opinion
The Dominicans church, with that of Guebwiller, is the most remarkable commissioned by this religious order in the Rhine region between 1283 and 1310. The remarkable and surprisingly slender space is lit by 14C-15C stained-glass windows and above all by the magnificent Virgin in the rose bush (1473), a masterpiece of rare elegance by Martin Schongauer. The Virgin and Child are depicted against a gold background strewn with rose bushes where birds nest. The décor is particularly delicate and subtle.
