Visit of a gothic building, to admire the epitaphs of humanists, the keystones decorated with sculptures and beautiful stained glass windows

The Gothic building, built in several phases between 1220 and 1500, stands on much earlier foundations. There are epitaphs of humanists, including that of Beatus Rhenanus in the narthex, as well as a font with the Habsburg emblem of an eagle. The pulpit of Jerome Kruch, which is supported by the shoulders of Samson, was completed in 1619. Look up and contemplate for a long time the keystones decorated with sculptures, but especially the very beautiful stained glass windows of the choir, including three windows dating back to the 15th century.

Construcción religiosa de estilo gótico edificada entre los siglos VIII y XV siendo originalmente una capilla bautismal levantada sobre los restos de una gran rotonda que fue descubierta entre los años 1876 y 1902 al excavar la cripta.

De planta en cruz latina cuenta con tres naves y un crucero, fue diseñada por tres arquitectos: John Obrecht (alcalde de la localidad en 1401), Matthis (de 1400 a 1410) y Erhart Kindelinentre (de 1415 a 1422) a quién se le atribuye los tres tramos del ábside. Hubo un cuarto, Conrad Sifer, que construyó una mampara entre 1489 y 1490, pero fue destruida durante la Revolución Francesa.

Lleva el nombre de San Jorge desde 1500 y es famosa por sus árboles de Navidad colgados, tradición que se remonta a 1521. Fue declarada monumento histórico en 1848 encontrándose en buen estado de conservación (actualmente se están realizando obras de restauración del cerramiento y de la cubierta).
