history
Today's Protestant church goes back to a medieval Romanesque choir tower church , of which the basement floors from the 12th century have been preserved in the current bell tower . In the place of the old nave there is now a sacristy east of the tower . In 1526 the Reformation was introduced to the church . From 1690 on, Lutherans and Catholics used the house of God together in the form of a simultaneum by order of the French government . The Simultaneum ended in 1899 with the establishment of a separate Roman Catholic church with St-Oswald in Romanswiller. The Protestant church itself was built to the west in 1900 to the old tower in neo-Romanesque forms. The traditional east-facing of the church was retained and the entrance portal was built in the west wall. When entering the church, the view goes to the east with the pulpit and the old choir room in the tower basement.
