Temple réformé de Lafrimbolle, Reformed temple in Lafrimbolle, France.
The Temple of Lafrimbolle is a church building in the village of Lafrimbolle featuring an altar decorated with symbolic friezes inspired by the Jerusalem Cross and architectural elements from different construction phases. The structure demonstrates how the building was expanded and modified over time to meet the needs of the growing community.
The Protestant community of Lafrimbolle started in 1846 with a school that became a temple-school by 1852. The building later became exclusively dedicated to worship and underwent significant structural changes in the following decades.
The temple serves the Reformed Church of Alsace and Lorraine, maintaining Protestant traditions in the Moselle region through regular services and community gatherings.
The building underwent major renovations in 1927 to expand its interior space and improve accessibility for the local congregation. Visitors should be mindful that this is an active place of worship and should respect service schedules.
A bell decorated with a salmon design commemorates the introduction of Protestantism by the Count of Salm in the region during the 16th century. This unusual symbol links religious history with the heraldic emblem of the noble family that supported the Reformation.
