Old Saint Peter's Church, Strasbourg, Gothic church in Grand'Rue, Strasbourg, France.
Description
Old Saint Peter's Church is a Gothic building on Grand'Rue featuring pointed arches, stone vaults, and large stained glass windows from the medieval period. The interior is divided into Protestant and Catholic sections connected by a modern doorway.
History
The church was built in 1381 and was later divided by royal order to separate Catholic and Protestant congregations. This arrangement shaped the building for centuries until it was dissolved in more recent times.
Culture
The church displays Renaissance wood carvings and Gothic paintings that visitors can see throughout the interior spaces. These artworks tell religious stories and continue to shape the visual character of this sacred place.
Practical
The building is centrally located on Grand'Rue in Strasbourg and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should be prepared for narrow doorways and steeper steps that are typical of medieval structures like this.
Did you know?
A doorway installed in 2012 replaced the historic wall that separated Protestants and Catholics for centuries. This new opening allows direct passage between the two worship areas today.
