The Mount of Olives; The sculpted group representing Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane was made in 1517 by the sculptor Paul Windeck, from Sélestat, and financed by the draper merchant Bastian Wilcklin, from Obernai. The whole presents strong analogies with the Mount of Olives of Offenburg and illustrates the popular piety of the time. The wall paintings (several times restored) date from 1586. On the mesh vault are the symbols of the four Evangelists. The adjoining chapel dates from 1696; a Pietà, destroyed during the Revolution, was venerated there.

Easy to combine with a visit to the Great Church, which is virtually adjacent to the site.
