The Romanesque church of Saint Pierre and Paul is located in Othmarsheim, in the east of France. A few kilometers from Mulhouse, it is located on the border between Germany and France, which is planned by the Rhine River.
With its octagonal plan, it imitates the Palatine Chapel of Aix-la-Chapelle, where Charlemagne established his residence. The Palatine Chapel, inspired by the temples and sanctuaries of the Roman emperors of Constantinople and northern Italy, became an architectural landmark for the Ottonian emperors of the 10th and early 11th centuries. Its plan and architecture have been repeatedly reproduced with greater or lesser accuracy.
L'Abbatiale d'Ottmarsheim is a must-see for 11th-century Romanesque art.
