screen divided the church in two. The main door, with two leaves, pierced in the western façade, was that of the brothers. The fathers, on the other hand, had two small doors on either side of the choir, allowing them to go directly to their cells after services, using the north and south galleries of the cloister. In terms of elevation, although much more compact, the Carthusian church was not unlike the general appearance of the Jesuit church. It was quite tall in silhouette and was illuminated by large glass windows and, perhaps, by a rose window on the south-west façade. Unlike the tiled roofs of the rest of the monastery, the church's roof was covered with grey slate. In 1644, a high gable topped each access gallery to the choir on either side of the choir. These two gables disappeared at the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th century. Between the southern front of the church and the eastern front of the prior's house, a pentagonal turret covered by a bulbous bell tower gave access to the gallery and the attic. Above the choir was a hexagonal bell tower, also with a bulbous tower, according to the engraving of 1644. In contrast, the works of 1744 show the bell tower with a slightly domed dome topped by a slimmer bell tower and finished with a spire. On the main façade, a statue of the Virgin was placed; in 1659, it was replaced by a wooden statue of Saint Michael which after suffering deterioration from the weather, was replaced in 1701. Interior design In 1609, the church was adorned with five altars that the monks had managed to bring back from their first monastery at Koenigshoffen. A Gothic altarpiece, dating from 1460-1475 and enriched with a polychrome representation of the Passion of Christ, was also recovered and installed in the church at Molsheim. Two additional altars were placed in the brothers' choir and consecrated on August 10, 1614, one to Saint John in the north and the other to Saint Stephen in the south; they also came from Koenigshoffen, and were installed under the rood screen, framing the door that allows access to the fathers' choir. Between the altars is a silver statue of the Virgin and Child. Above the two altars, on the rood screen itself, are two altars of the Virgins, to the
