Église Saint-Louis de Strasbourg, Baroque church in Finkwiller district, Strasbourg, France
Église Saint-Louis is a church with neo-baroque design and neoclassical elements located in the Finkwiller district. The building is organized around a central nave and displays various architectural details that define its style.
The building was constructed between 1825 and 1827 to replace an earlier church that had been converted into a tobacco warehouse during the French Revolution. This restoration returned the site to its original religious purpose after the revolutionary years.
The church contains oil paintings by Martin Feuerstein depicting scenes from Saint Louis's life, along with stained glass windows created by the Ott brothers. These works shape the visual character of the interior and tell religious stories through color and light.
The church maintains regular opening hours and serves both the territorial parish and the Cros Glorieuse parish following different Catholic traditions. Visitors should check when the doors are open before visiting, as times may vary depending on services and the church calendar.
The organ was built in 1896 by Charles and Edgard Wetzel with 25 stops and holds historical monument status today. Despite some pipe replacements over time, it remains a significant example of 19th-century organ building craftsmanship.
