The church is right in front of the house, visible from one of our guestroom. We never tire of watching her sleek and white facade becoming yellow-orange in the sunset.
Our Protestant Church of Bietlenheim celebrate its 175th anniversary on Sunday afternoon. On this occasion, a concert is held. Admission is free, and everyone can make a donation to help fund interior renovations of the church.
The choir "Choeur de la Zorn" will give its recital, accompanied by the organ of the church.
Like almost all places of worship in Alsace, faiths and religions succeed in one place. The Church of St. Arbogast is already mentioned in the XIVth century and it's a safe bet that another place of worship existed before.
The area was never densely populated: in 1590 the village had 16 inhabitants ... not enough to fill a church. When we're married in June of last year, the village had 280 inhabitants (with us).
Anyway, there are good waves in our guesthouse. I do not know if it's because of the church and its bell tower which dominates our house as if to protect it.
To attend the concert and support the renovation project:
Sunday, 24 October 2010 to 16 hours.
Protestant Church Bietlenheim.
Free admission, tea.
