Protestant Church of Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune, Strabourg
Strasbourg, FR
This Church is one of the three religious buildings in Strasbourg bearing this name. It was founded between the 13th and 14th centuries. It became affiliated with the Lutheran Protestant community in 1524, being one of the 250 churches affiliated to the Augsburg confession. With the invasion of Louis XIV's troops, this church became a Simultaneum in 1681: the choir was dedicated to Catholic worship while the nave was reserved for the Lutherans. During the German presence between 1870 and 1918, a new Saint-Pierre Church Jeune was built in 1898, used for Catholic worship. This church therefore returned completely to Protestant worship.
