Canisianum, Romanesque Revival church in Saarlouis, Germany
The Canisianum church features a single nave design with a steep slate roof, pointed roof turret, and round-arched windows adorned with stone ornaments.
Built in 1901 as a hospital chapel, the structure stands on the site of an Augustinian monastery from 1691 that served the fortress city founded by Louis XIV.
The interior displays floral ornaments on vault ribs, preserved wall paintings, and colored choir windows created by Anton Frese in 1951.
The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter conducts daily traditional Latin Mass services in the church, drawing worshippers from France and Germany.
Deep cracks in the walls, crumbling foundations, and damaged sandstone masonry indicate urgent need for external restoration of this heritage monument.
