Temple Neuf

Temple Neuf, Lutheran church at Place du Temple Neuf, Strasbourg, France

Temple Neuf is a five-nave Lutheran church of red sandstone built in Romanesque Revival style, with a 60-metre central tower topped by a pointed spire. Its facade has three arched portals, a large rose window with radiating tracery flanked by two smaller round windows, and twin louvered belfry openings below a gabled section. Inside, the nave measures 48.6 m long and 20 m high.

Dominican friars built a convent and church here from 1254, consecrated in 1260 and enlarged into a double-nave church consecrated in 1345. That medieval church, Strasbourg's second largest after the cathedral, burned on 24 August 1870 under Prussian artillery fire. Émile Salomon's Romanesque Revival replacement was built 1874–1877 on plans submitted in 1872.

The name Temple Neuf, written with two capitals and no hyphen, means "New Church" and replaced the earlier Prediger-Kirche. The parish was the leading of Strasbourg's seven Lutheran parishes, its head pastor presiding over the Convent of pastors. The 1877 Merklin organ, with 40 stops on three manuals and pedal, has a French-Romantic character.

The church welcomes visitors during regular opening hours and offers guided tours when requested. It is easily accessible on foot from the city center and well-marked for finding your way.

The medieval stained glass of the predecessor Dominican church, 292 panels in all, was bought by the Fondation de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame in 1832 and removed in 1833; 102 panels were later installed in the Laurentius Chapel of the cathedral, and others are kept in the Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame.
