Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Protestant Church, Lutheran church in central Strasbourg, France

The Gothic and Romanesque architecture of Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune combines with its stone walls, high vaults, and detailed carvings throughout the structure.

The church dates back to 601 when Irish monks established a wooden chapel dedicated to Saint Columban, later evolving into a Gothic structure.

The church served both Catholic and Protestant congregations simultaneously from 1682 to 1893, with Catholics using the choir and Protestants occupying the nave.

The monument remains open to visitors who can explore its medieval cloister, examine the 14th-century frescoes, and observe the Silbermann organ from 1780.

The baptismal font holds particular importance as the location where Charles de Foucauld received baptism during the period of dual Catholic-Protestant usage.
