Église Saint-Pierre de Molsheim, Romanesque fortified church in Molsheim, France.

The stone church features thick defensive walls, a prominent central tower, and traditional Romanesque architectural elements throughout its construction.

Between 1049 and 1053, Pope Leo IX consecrated this structure, which contains remnants of a seventh-century building discovered during excavations in 1914.

The church maintains its position as a pilgrimage destination for scout movements since 1934, following its restoration by French scouts in 1933.

The building stands at the border between Molsheim and Avolsheim municipalities, with video surveillance protecting the remaining interior decorative elements.

The church bells include specimens transferred from Strasbourg Cathedral, adding historical connection to this religious structure.
