Origin and history

The Church of St.Wendelin in Eberbach is a religious monument located in the commune of Gundershoffen in the Greater East. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify the period of its construction or the architectural or historical details that might place its origin in time. Such churches, often at the heart of the Alsatian villages, played a central role in community life.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, reflecting local religious and social traditions. Their presence usually reflects a village organization structured around the faith and agricultural or craft activities specific to the region.
