Epinal - Saint-Maurice

Epinal - Saint-Maurice
Epinal was founded end of the 10th century by Dietrich I, Bishop of Metz (cousin of Emperor Otto I). A church will have existed here, that mid of the 11th century got replaced by a Romanesque structure, consecrated by Pope Leo IX, who was born in the near Alsace. This church probably had the same dimensions as the building today as some walls of the nave can be traced back to that church.

The polychrome "Mise au tombeau" (Burial of Jesus) was created end of the 15th century by an unkonwn artist.
