    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.

    The Mount of Olives: the group with Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, 1517
    Made by the sculptor Paul Windeck from Sélestat. There are big ones
    Similarities with the Mount of Olives in Offenburg. The wall paintings, restored several times
    go back to 1586. On the vault you can see u. the symbols of the four
    evangelists. The adjoining chapel dates from 1696. It contained a
    Pietà which was destroyed during the French Revolution.

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