Frontal view

Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune catholique ( Young Saint Peter Catholic ) is a Roman Catholic church in Strasbourg - Neustadt . It should not be confused with the much older churches in the Church of Jung-St. Peter and Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux .

Architecture and equipment

The church building was built from 1889-1893 according to plans and under the direction of the architects Skjøld Neckelmann and August Hartel in the neo-Romanesque style and crowned with the largest dome in all of Alsace (interior height 50 meters, interior diameter 18.5 meters). Externally, the building is made of red Vosges - sandstone decorated with copper roofs. (Neckelmann was also responsible for the neighboring palace of justice made of gray sandstone.)

Interior view with wheel candlesticks

Inside the church there is, among other things, a huge neo-Romanesque wheel chandelier , which is modeled on the lost original in the Abbey Church in Weißenburg .
