In the side porch, at the back of the church, a rare but discreet statue is hidden in the partial shade: a Virgin of polychrome wood from the 14th century that can be opened. The tympanum of the inner portal illustrates the parable of the wise virgins and the foolish virgins. Under Christ's watchful eye, the distracted virgins keep their lamps pointing loosely downwards so that they have no light leading to God while the wise virgins light their way to paradise.
Nice story to muse on.

St. Peter and Paul is a Roman Catholic church in the Alsatian town of Eguisheim. It is a listed building and probably dates from the 11th century.

In the course of the 18th century, however, the church became too small for the rapidly growing population and was also dilapidated. In July 1787 parts of the church collapsed during a service.

The organ on the gallery above the entrance was built in 1839. To date, it has been restored and renewed several times.

All that remains of the Romanesque church, which was rebuilt in the Gothic style in 1220, is the bell tower with its gable roof. It consists of four stories, with Romanesque elements still present in the lower sections, while the upper section is punctuated by pointed-arch, coupled windows.
The nave of the original church had become too old and too small and was therefore demolished in 1807 and replaced by the spacious present nave in the "barn" style in 1808 and 1809.
