    The construction of the Dominican church started in 1283 and dates mainly from the first half of the ecclesiastical century.

      The construction of the Dominican Church, begun in 1283, was a significant milestone in the first half of the 14th century. It is a masterpiece of the Mendicant Order's architecture, although the Dominicans arrived in the city in 1278 and were temporarily expelled in 1330. In 1458, a fire damaged the roof and cloister, which were subsequently rebuilt. The installation of Baroque decoration in 1720 broke the church's initial austerity. For much of the 19th century, it was used for secular purposes before becoming a place of worship again in 1898. Between 1980 and 1990, the church underwent several restoration projects. Around 1475, Martin Schongauer's studio erected the Dominican altar, which is now on display in the Unterlinden Museum. Since 1973, the Dominican Church has housed Martin Schongauer's main work, the Madonna in the Rose Garden, which until then was exhibited in the Collegiate Church of St. Martin.
