Temple Saint-Étienne, Protestant church building in Mulhouse, France
Temple Saint-Étienne is a Protestant church in Mulhouse built in Gothic Revival style with a tall stone tower and detailed stonework covering its exterior and interior. The building features a formal interior arrangement with multiple decorative components throughout its main hall.
Built in 1866 by architect Jean-Baptiste Schacre, this church replaced an earlier medieval structure that had occupied the site since 1186. The new construction introduced a fresh architectural approach to Protestant worship in the region.
The interior holds stained glass windows from different periods and ornate choir furnishings that reflect the depth of local Protestant worship traditions. These artistic pieces shape how light fills the space and create an impression of spiritual continuity.
Access is from street level and the interior opens to visitors outside of service times. Walk through the spaces respectfully since this remains an active place of worship for the local community.
The building holds a large bell system cast in Zurich in 1867 that remains one of the rarest of its kind in the region. These bells were specifically made for this location and continue to sound for worship and occasions today.
