Notre-Dame (Church of Our Lady) is a Neoclassical Catholic parish church in the town of Guebwiller, in the Haut-Rhin department of France. The church is classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1841.[1] The building is remarkable for its size and for the quality of its decoration; it is considered as the most important Neoclassical church in Alsace,[2] and as an outstanding and most sumptuous example of early Neoclassical architecture.[3]
