# View of the east parts [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ARCHITECT, German]() - Date: 1101-1150 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary This monastery church is one of the greatest achievements of late Salian architecture. The nave and aisles were demolished in the eighteenth century; the eastern parts which adjoined them still stand today. The main choir and side chancels both end with a flat termination typical of the Upper Rhine, and square towers are built above the transept wings. The east choir of Murbach is truly monumental in its effect. Particularly splendid and of monumental effect is the accurately layered ashlar or square hewn masonry. Originating in Burgundy. it is one of the earliest examples of its kind in Germany. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Baumburg Tower]() - [East view \(detail\)]() - [Exterior view \(detail\)]() - [Exterior view from the east]() - [Exterior view from the east]() - [Exterior view from the north-east]() - [Exterior view from the north-east]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
