Built from 1235 to 1365, the Collegiate Church of St. Martin is a major work of Gothic architecture in Alsace. The roof truss and the crowning of the south tower were destroyed in a fire in 1572. It was replaced three years later by the original onion-shaped skylight, which gives the building its characteristic silhouette. The church has undergone several restoration works. The last one, completed in 1982, exposed the foundations of a church from around the year 1000, as well as traces of successive additions in the 11th and 12th centuries.

For a long time, the Colmarer regarded the collegiate church of St. Martin as their cathedral ("Münster"). In fact, the collegiate church was not really a cathedral for about ten years: from the Civil Constitution of the Clergy in 1790 to the signing of the Concordat in 1801.

THE COLLEGIATE CHURCH OF SAINT-MARTIN, Colmar

The collegiate church of Saint-Martin, built from 1235 and completed at the end of the 14th century, impresses with its cathedral-like dimensions. Its austere west façade is adorned with mighty buttresses; of the two towers originally planned, only the southern one was completed. The transept was finished in 1263, the nave in 1300 and the current choir only around 1400. When you enter, you are overwhelmed by the wonderful clarity, unity and harmonious layout of the rooms.

An impressive church well worth a visit.

Great carved choir stalls.

Interesting exhibition of an extensive nativity scene collection from all over the world during the Christmas season.
