  • ... that Notre-Dame de Guebwiller is considered as "an outstanding and most sumptuous example of early Neoclassical architecture"? Source: "gehört die dreischiffige Säulen-Architravbasilika zu den hervorragenden und prächtigsten Kirchen des Frühklassizismus" ([1])
  • ALT 1 ... that the Benedictines of Murbach Abbey built the monumental Notre-Dame de Guebwiller in order to leave their remote valley for good? (source: ref 4)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: No - not sure if the hook would work as it stands. ...that Notre-Dame de Guebwiller is "an outstanding and most sumptuous example of early Neoclassical architecture" seems like a vague and not very neutral hook. I would either say who exactly it is that describes the building this way ie "is considered by art experts as 'an outstanding...'" or something like that if the source says so, or perhaps use a different fact from the article.
QPQ: Done.

@Wikiman5676: Thank you for your input. I modified the hook accordingly and wrote a completely different one as an alternative. Good? Edelseider (talk) 06:47, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
@Edelseider: Looks good to me. Approved with preference for ALT1. I think that fact is the more interesting one. Wikiman5676 (talk) 06:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
