It does not have an individual character, but is typical of a wider region, with especially strong identity, the Sundgau. Even if the Middle Ages did not leave many works, these are remarkable. Since the end of 16th century developed a rich and diverse religious art, sometimes primitive, often sumptuous, through creations of local and foreign craftmen, especially from near Switzerland. This multiplicity of works deploys itself in between a very picturesque architecture.
