I just finished googling "why do church bells ring at 10pm" as our friend Saint-Georges Church was ringing its bells for 15 minutes straight. Melanie suggested that it was a signal for some sort of invasion. The internet offered no explanation.
Our little corner also seems to be the local gathering spot for some more of the hardened socialites of Sélestat, Throw in a motorcycle or two and it makes for an interesting evening.
Saint-Georges Church has seen a lot of action since its construction in the 12th century.
During WWII, many parts of Sélestat were heavily damaged, including Saint-Georges Church. Walking by the church today, you can still see the pock marks of the battle damage.
