In the afternoon of April 4th, mom went on the tour of Colmar, France. But I rested and then walked around
Breisach,
where the Mani was docked. The town is dominated by St. Stephanmünster
Cathedral atop a hill. I followed a cobblestone road up the hill, where
there was a tower that was probably used for defense at some point in
time. There was a modern sculpture of a bull breaking up through the
bricks in the courtyard. The views from the top were astounding. I took a
photo of the panel beside the church.
The history of this Romanesque - Gothic church can be read
here. I was stunned by the beauty of the wooden carved altar piece and pulpit in St Stephenmünster.
Most of the houses were half-timbered and people actually live on the hill on the way up to church. What a gorgeous little town!
