The Saint-Pantaléon church dominates with its Romanesque bell tower, the picturesque wine village of Gueberschwihr. In the garden of the church you can find Merovingian sarcophagi from the 8th century. Long before the construction of this prayer house, this location was already spiritually important for going to the afterlife.

Architectural description: The bell tower dates from the second quarter of the 12th century and has been listed as a monument since 1841.
The church was enlarged in the period 1835 - 1836 due to the growth of the population. The parish then numbered more than 1500 souls.

Romanesque tower and neo-Romanesque splendor: This church in Gueberschwihr combines centuries of history in one building. The 36-meter-high Romanesque bell tower from the 12th century – classified as a historical monument since 1841 – is the only remnant of the original church. The current neo-Romanesque church was built between 1874 and 1878, with respect for the old tower. Inside, you can admire colorful frescoes by Martin Feuerstein (1898), depicting the life of Saint Pantaléon. Behind the church, you can still see arcades of the disappeared ossuary and old sarcophagi from the Frankish period.
