Saint-Maurice, Gothic Revival church in Neustadt district, Strasbourg, France
Description
Saint-Maurice is a Gothic Revival church building with a 65-meter bell tower that rises prominently along the main avenues leading toward Place Arnold in Strasbourg. Inside, a Friedrich Weigle organ from 1899 features 43 stops and three keyboards, played during services.
History
Construction began in 1895 when Alsace-Lorraine was under German rule, a period that shaped the district's character and architectural choices. This era left its mark on how the building was designed.
Culture
The church honors Saint Maurice through its interior design and religious artworks that tell visitors about the saint's place in local faith. The space itself expresses this dedication through visible artistic choices.
Practical
The bell tower is easily visible from the main streets and serves as a useful landmark for visitors navigating the Neustadt district. The best views of the building come from the surrounding squares and pathways.

A statue of Joan of Arc by sculptor Paul Dubois, created in 1897, stands east of the church after being moved from its original entrance location. This relocation reflects how public monuments shift their places within the city over time.
