St Arbogast Church

St Arbogast Church in Surbourg takes its name from and pays homage to the first bishop of Strasbourg, Saint Arbogast. The dates originally from the 11th century and is part of the Route Romane d'Alsace, along with the Abbey Church of Saints-Pierre-et-Paul in Wissembourg and the Church of Saint-Ulrich in Altenstadt.

The building rises on a basilical plan with three ceilinged naves ending in a transept and vaulted apses in cul-de-four. Inside, the large arcades rest on alternating supports: columns with cubic capitals and masonry pillars with simple transoms. Note the quality of the apparatus in small rubble alternating red and gray sandstone (outside the nave and apse of the north apsidiole) as well as the decorative size of the facings (inside pillars of the nave).
