St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Obernai

St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Obernai, Historical church in Obernai, France.

St. Peter and St. Paul's Church is a neo-gothic building roughly 75 meters long, displaying tall arches and carefully worked stone details across its exterior. The interior is lit by large windows and shows a well-ordered architectural structure with vertical lines that draw the eye upward.

This building rose between 1865 and 1870 under architect Eugène Petiti's supervision and replaced an older 15th-century gothic sanctuary that was demolished in 1867. Original stained glass windows from that earlier church were preserved and restored during renovation work between 1895 and 1896.

The church keeps the heart of Monseigneur Freppel (1827–1891), bishop of Angers, deputy for Finistère and founder of the Université catholique de l'Ouest, in a reliquary inside the building. The building stands on the rempart Monseigneur-Freppel, a street named after him. Its altar of the Holy Sepulchre has been listed as a monument historique since 1900.

The church stands on Rempart Monseigneur-Freppel, the street that follows Obernai's old town wall, so it can be reached on foot from the historic centre. The building is a classified historical monument; the heart of Bishop Freppel is kept inside, near the Saint-Sépulcre altar. As a working parish church, visits should fit around services.

The church keeps the heart of Monseigneur Freppel (1827–1891), bishop of Angers and deputy for Finistère, who founded the Université catholique de l'Ouest. The relic is held inside the building, and the same church houses the Holy Sepulchre altar, classified as a monument historique since 1900.
