Wissembourg - Saint-Ulrich d'Altenstadt

14 Jan 2011 140
The former village Altenstadt is now part of Wissembourg. The church St. Ulrich is on the graveyard, a place that was fortified in medieval times. The church was built over the ruins of a roman temple and was dedicated to Martin from Tour originally. The building was constructed during the 11th century. The tower, with some nice blind arcades, was added 100 years later. Dating back about a thousand years, makes the little church to one of the oldest existing in the Alsace.
