CultureVisit: ~15 min
Protestant church on the banks of the Ill in central Strasbourg, linked to Albert Schweitzer, who was its assistant pastor from 1900 and played its organ. In 1908 he married Elly Knapp and Theodor Heuss, the future president of Germany, here. The façade and choir date from 1905. Today it no longer works as an ordinary parish, so assume the interior may not be open.
