Church of St. Benedict in Walschbronn
Highlight • Other
The bell tower on the façade, dating from 1754, survives from this period, as do the sacristy, an ossuary, and the walls and doors of the cemetery.
Damaged during World War II, the church was subsequently restored.
It is a building with an elongated floor plan, a polygonal apse with a polygonal tower. The altar and altarpiece date from 1898;
the baptismal font dates from the 18th century.
The stained-glass windows depicting the Annunciation, the Nativity,
the Ascension, the Parable of the Samaritan Woman, the Wedding at Cana,
the Agony of Christ, the Mount of Olives, the Ascension, Saint Bernadette, and Saint Margaret are the work of the artist Bassinot
of Nancy and date from the mid-20th century.
On the edge of the base, an enigmatic inscription bears the name of Brother
Henri Mosheim and the date 1054, possibly a reversal of the 1504 figures.
