Église réformée du Bouclier, Neoclassical Protestant church in central Strasbourg, France.
The Église Réformée du Bouclier is a Protestant church in central Strasbourg designed in the neoclassical style. The interior is organized as a rectangular hall with galleries supported by Doric columns, featuring simple and unadorned finishes throughout.
This church was built in 1790 by architect Jean Regnard Pfauth during the French Revolution, a period of significant religious upheaval. Its construction marked an important moment for the Protestant community as it established its place in the city under new political conditions.
The name 'Bouclier' means shield, referencing the historical protection this congregation offered to Protestants in the city. Today, visitors experience a lively musical tradition during services, with various instruments creating an engaging worship atmosphere.
The church is easy to access, being centrally located in the city. Visitors should note that regular worship services and educational programs take place, so checking visit times in advance is helpful.
The exterior looks like a residential building, lacking bells or religious ornaments, which reflects the discreet nature of Protestant worship during the 18th century. This plain design allowed the community to function safely during a religiously sensitive period.
