Protestant Church of Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune, Strabourg

The Church of Saint Paul was built between 1892 and 1897 by the Alsatian architect Louis Muller (1842-1898). It is currently listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. Built in a neo-Gothic style, the building stands on a strategic location, located in the center of the new district which developed at the beginning of the century during the German era.

Notre-Dame de Strasbourg cathedral was founded in 1015 on the remains of an old cathedral. It is today the second most visited cathedral in France, after Notre-Dame de Paris, eight and a half million tourists a year. Since 1988, it is a UNESCO heritage site. From its construction until the 19th century, the cathedral was the highest human construction in the world. The recognisable silhouette of the cathedral looms from the Strasbourg countryside and even from the other side of the Rhine, on the Baden plain.

The old St. Peter's Church was first mentioned in the 12th century, but the construction of the present Gothic church began in the 14th century. With the Reformation, the church became Protestant in 1529, but when Louis XIV conquered the city in 1683, parts of the church were returned to the Catholics and a wall was built to separate the two areas. Today, the part of the church on the side of the 22-November street is dedicated to Catholic worship while the part overlooking the Grand'rue is dedicated to Protestant worship.
