The Église Sainte-Croix De Kaysersberg, the venue for the concert, is a significant historical landmark in Kaysersberg-Vignoble, Alsace. Originally constructed in the 13th century, the church exhibits Gothic architectural features, though it underwent substantial Neo-Gothic renovations in the 19th century led by architect Jean-Baptiste Schacre. These renovations included alterations to the tower and interior decoration. The church’s location within the picturesque medieval town of Kaysersberg contributes to its cultural importance; Kaysersberg being the birthplace of Albert Schweitzer adds further historical weight to the area. The church's acoustics are noted for their resonance, making it a favored space for musical performances. It remains an active place of worship alongside its role as a cultural venue.
