Wissembourg - Saint-Ulrich d'Altenstadt

The village Altenstadt is now part of Wissembourg. The church St. Ulrich was built over the ruins of a roman temple. The building was constructed during the 11th/12th century, is one of the oldest existing churches in the Alsace. Here, seen from the back, one major change is visible. The original church ended at the fifth window, but was enlarged later. The sacristy in front of the semicircular choir was added within the 20th century.
