With its spire reaching a height of 142 metres, the Cathedral, with its delicate lacework of pink sandstone, stands tall over the Alsatian Plain. You could spend hours and hours just gazing at the Cathedral’s facade, with its multitude of characters.Its particularly rich statuary will tell you countless stories, if you look carefully enough.For example, on the right portal of the main facade (the most lavishly ornamented facade) the Tempter is presented, surrounded by the Wise and Foolish Virgins. On the left portal, you’ll see the Battle of Vices and Virtues. Between the two, the central portal illustrates the passion and resurrection of Christ. Continue observing from Place du Château, where you can admire the south portal, and the statues of the Church and the Synagogue in particular.
