Église protestante de Gundershoffen, Protestant church in Gundershoffen, France
The Protestant Church of Gundershoffen sits on Rue de la Paix and displays Neo-Romanesque architecture with a multi-level stone bell tower. Its interior houses a noteworthy organ from the Richard Dot workshops built in 2001.
Originally built as a Catholic church, the building switched to Lutheran worship in 1570 when the Hanau-Lichtenberg counts brought the Reformation to the region. Between 1715 and 1909, it served both faiths as a shared church.
The building reflects the region's religious diversity, shaped by the needs of different faiths that shared and used this sacred space for centuries. Visitors can sense how multiple communities coexisted within these walls, each leaving its mark on the place.
Visit to see the interior fittings and the modern organ that defines this historic building, offering a quiet place to explore at your own pace. The central location near Rue de la Paix makes it easy to reach and visit without complications.
The walls incorporate Gallo-Roman stone fragments, preserving traces of a much older settlement within the structure. These ancient pieces tell of the site's long history before the church itself existed.
