The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'église primitive remonte au 13e siècle ; elle aurait été élevée en 1214 sous le règne de Frédéric II de Hohenstaufen comme le précise un tympan en grès sculpté de l'Agneau de Dieu, vestige le plus ancien conservé. Un fragment de vitrail gothique représentant un Christ trônant a été inséré dans la verrière du portail d'entrée de l'édifice actuel, reconstruit en 1831. Dans le mur occidental de la nef, une longue inscription en langue allemande commémore un agrandissement antérieur de l'église sous l'abbesse Odile de Dürmentz en 1581.

History
The original church dates back to the 13th century; it is said to have been erected in 1214 during the reign of Frederick II of Hohenstaufen as specified by a sculpted sandstone tympanum of the Lamb of God, the oldest surviving vestige. A fragment of a Gothic stained-glass window representing a Christ in majesty was inserted into the glazing of the entrance portal of the current building, rebuilt in 1831. In the western wall of the nave, a long inscription in the German language commemorates an earlier enlargement of the church under the abbess Odile de Dürmentz in 1581.
