Église Saint-Rémi de Forbach, Gothic Revival church in Forbach, France

The Saint Remi Church stands prominently in the center of Forbach, featuring tall pointed arches and intricate stone carvings made from Vosges sandstone.

Construction of the Saint Remi Church began in June 1865 under architect Charles Desgranges, with consecration ceremonies taking place in October 1868.

The church contains an organ that combines French and German musical influences, reflecting the regional heritage of the Moselle department.

Regular Catholic services are held at Saint Remi Church, which operates under the Diocese of Metz and maintains connections with the Oeting parish community.

During World War II, four of the five church bells were removed for German war efforts, fundamentally changing the sound signature of the building.
