The Dominican Church, Colmar, Alsace, France

Started in 1283, the construction of the Dominican church mainly dates back to the first half of the 14th century. In 1458, the roof and the cloister were damaged by a fire. After that, reconstruction works have been necessary. In 1720, thanks to the installation of a baroque decorating, the church was less austere than before. The Dominican church was during the most part of the 19th century used to non-religious ends, before becoming again a place of worship in 1898. The church has been restored in the early 80’s and 90’s.
