Église catholique Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune

This guide to the Eglise catholique Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune in Strasbourg centers on the silver-and-iron chandelier hanging inside, a model of the New Jerusalem crafted by silversmith Eugene Braun to replace one melted down by revolutionaries at the Wissembourg abbey. It traces how Strasbourg's Catholics, after generations sharing the older Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune with the city's Protestants, finally built this pink sandstone church of their own between 1888 and 1893. You'll hear about the black marble nave and the mosaics tracing Christ's life above the choir. Look up first, at the twelve small gates suspended above you.
