Origin and history

The Sainte-Marguerite church of Geispolsheim, located in Place Sainte-Marguerite in Lower Rhine, is a religious building of classical architecture built in the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. Its bell tower retains a medieval base dating from the thirteenth century, while the nave and choir were erected in 1770. The top floor of the bell tower, completed in 1784, and the beam of the belfry dated 1793 bear witness to the successive phases of its construction.

The church stained glass windows, made by Ott between 1880 and 1883, add an artistic dimension to the building. Classified as a historical monument by decree of 30 October 1990, the church belongs to the municipality of Geispolsheim. Its architecture thus combines medieval heritage and classical elements, reflecting stylistic and technical evolutions over centuries.

The precise location of the church, at the address 1 Rue de l'Église or Place Sainte-Marguerite, is documented in the Mérimée and Monumentum bases. These sources also point to the presence of task marks, details characteristic of the construction practices of the time. The building remains a testimony of Alsatian religious heritage, integrated into the Greater East Regional Inventory.
