Located on the Romanesque Route of Alsace, the Saints Peter and Paul Church in Ottmarsheim is a joy of Romanesque architecture in the 11th century. Built between 1030 and 1040 by Rudolf of Altenburg, one of the founders of the Habsburg family, it was consecrated in 1049 by the Alsatian Pope Leo IX. Its central octagonal plan, a copy of the Palatine Chapel in Aachen, makes it a unique building of religious architecture in Alsace.
