St. Peter's Basilica
St. Peter's Basilica, Minor basilica in Luxeuil-les-Bains, France.
St. Peter's Basilica is a Gothic building in Luxeuil-les-Bains constructed from pink Vosges sandstone with distinctive stone work throughout. A neoclassical bell tower marks its exterior, while the interior features a vaulted space with ornamental details and decorative elements.
Construction began in 1215 under Hugh of Faucogney and was completed in 1330 under Abbot Eudes de Charenton. This extended building period reflects the scale of medieval religious projects and the continued importance of the site across generations.
The choir displays stained glass windows arranged in six series, showing scenes from the lives of saints linked to the abbey's past. These artistic works tell visual stories that visitors can discover as they walk through the interior.
The building is open daily and visitors should check if entry without advance notice is available. Explore the interior at your own pace, as the architectural details can be examined from different angles and distances.
The bell tower holds four bells, with the largest one being exceptionally heavy and representing a remarkable achievement in medieval metalwork. This massive bell stands as evidence of the technical skill and craftsmanship required for such ambitious religious projects.
