Jean-Baptiste Schacre
Jean-Baptiste Schacre (* 1808 in Delle near Belfort , then Alsace , today Franche-Comté , † 1876 in Mulhouse ) was a French draftsman and architect and one of the first systematic representatives of the neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic on French soil. As the city architect of Mulhouse for many years (1844 to 1876), he primarily shaped its sacred landscape, in a way comparable to that of Christopher Wren in London .
