Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Catholic Church

Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Catholic Church, Romanesque Revival Catholic church in Neustadt district, Strasbourg, France.

Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune is a neo-Romanesque and neo-Byzantine church of pink and red sandstone, built 1889–1893 by architects Skjold Neckelmann and August Hartel. Its facade has two square towers with pale green pyramidal roofs, a central green dome on a drum, three arched doorways, and a rose window ringed by twelve smaller circles. A statue stands before the middle door.

Built from 1889 to 1893 by architects Skjold Neckelmann and August Hartel, who also designed the neighbouring Palais de Justice in grey limestone. Until then Catholics and Protestants had shared the medieval Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune in the old town; the new church, first called Neue Jung Sankt-Peter, rose in rose and red sandstone during the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine.

The church is also called Neue Jung Sankt-Peter, "new Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune", because Catholics and Lutherans had shared the medieval Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune in the old centre until this building was erected. The vast ring-shaped chandelier hanging in the dome's cupola reinterprets the one of the former abbey church of Wissembourg, destroyed during the French Revolution.

The church stands at the corner of rue Finkmatt and rue De Castelnau in the Neustadt, directly beside the Palais de Justice, whose grey limestone contrasts with the church's pink and red sandstone. Do not confuse it with the Protestant church of the same name on the Grande Île. The forecourt opens onto place Charles de Foucauld.

The ring-shaped chandelier hanging from the dome's interior is a reinterpretation of the one in Wissembourg Abbey, destroyed during the French Revolution. The organ is by Yves Kœnig. A statue of Charles de Foucauld, born in Strasbourg, was placed in 2006 on the square before the church, funded by parishioners' subscription.
