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

The neo-gothic building extends 75 meters in length, featuring tall arches and precise architectural details throughout its stone structure.

Built between 1865 and 1870 under architect Eugène Petiti's direction, this church replaced a 15th-century gothic sanctuary demolished in 1867.

The choir features frescoes by Alsatian painter Martin Ritter von Feuerstein depicting scenes from both the Old and New Testament.

Visitors can examine the original 15th-century stained glass windows, preserved from the previous church and restored between 1895 and 1896.

A special vessel inside the church contains the heart of Monseigneur Freppel, Bishop of Angers and founder of the Catholic University of the West.
