Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Catholic Church, Romanesque Revival Catholic church in Neustadt district, Strasbourg, France.
Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune is a Romanesque Revival church in Strasbourg's Neustadt district featuring a striking pink sandstone exterior. The building showcases a prominent central dome and rounded arches throughout its facade.
Construction began in 1888 after Catholics relinquished their claim to the medieval church, which they had previously shared with Lutherans. The new building arose from the need to create a dedicated space for the Catholic community.
The interior features a large circular chandelier by Eugène Braun and a reading pulpit supported by six lion sculptures with Byzantine mosaics. These artworks shape the impression when entering the church.
The church is located in the Neustadt district and welcomes visitors at no cost. It sits approximately 700 meters from the main train station and is easily accessible on foot.
The church houses the largest dome in the Alsace region, and a new pipe organ was installed in 2003, transforming the acoustic experience. These elements contribute to the special moments visitors encounter here.

In Strasbourg, each step crosses several centuries of history. You walk from medieval alleys lined with half-timbered houses to glass buildings housing European institutions. The cathedral, 142 meters high, has dominated the city since the Middle Ages, while modern structures along the Rhine reflect the city’s European role. The sound of bells blends with tram noise, and the smell of gingerbread drifts through the contemporary administrative districts.
