Église protestante de Munster, Protestant church in Munster, France
The Église protestante de Munster is a church building in the Alsatian town of Munster, constructed from pink sandstone. The structure features a Latin cross layout with a distinctive hexagonal tower positioned above the entrance porch.
Construction began in 1867 under architect Frédéric-Louis de Rutté and was completed in 1873. The building's completion resolved decades of tension between different religious communities in the region.
The church serves the Protestant community as a gathering place for worship and regional meetings. It shapes the religious and social life of the Munster Valley since its opening.
The building is located in the town of Munster in Alsace and is easily accessible. Three funeral monuments from the former cemetery of the Saint-Léger church stand near the structure.
The building houses organs commissioned in 1871 that rank among the finest instruments in Alsace. Early acoustic issues led to the installation of a glass partition to improve sound quality.
