I saw this imposing structure at the center of Mulhouse and thought it was a cathedral but it's actually a Protestant church that is Calvinist. Standing 97 meters tall, the bell tower is visible from outside the city and certainly dominates any of the lanes or pedestrian streets inside the city with a view.
This is not the first structure here - there had been a Romanesque building from the 12th century but it was removed in 1858. The new building was constructed between 1859 and 1866, designed by Jean-Bapsiste Schacre.
Inside the church, don't miss the leaded-glass windows that date to the 13th century. And if you're here when they ring, the bells are the largest of any Protestant church in France.
