Église Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune

This guide to Église Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune in Strasbourg starts beneath the sanctuary, in a tiny stone crypt linked to the seventh-century Irish missionary Columbanus, its bones dated by local memory across six centuries. It moves through the Romanesque cloister raised around 1031, still ringed by worn eleventh-century arcades, and the parish's 1524 break with its old priest in favor of the reformer Wolfgang Capito. Stand in the cloister and look down at the flagstones beneath your feet.
