Timeline

Origin and history

The Church of St. Croix in Riedheim is a religious monument located in the commune of Bouxwiller in the Grand East. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. His name, associated with the Holy Cross, suggests a Christian vocation, but no architectural or historical element is mentioned to define its characteristics or evolution.

In the general context of the Great East, local churches played a central role in community life, serving as a place of worship, assembly and identity marker. In Bouxwiller, as in many Alsatian municipalities, these buildings often reflected the religious and social history of the population, without local specificities being specified here.
