Temple Saint Etienne

The temple in Saint Etienne would be a cathedral if it were situated anywhere else in France, a Catholic country, but in Mulhouse, home of the Protestant reformers, it is simply a temple. It is situated in the meeting square, the city's main square. The Alsatians have preferred to call it an event rather than an annexation meeting. Is a Reformed church, which was formerly a Catholic church, but it is now a Protestant church, which converted to the Lutheran Reformation in the year 1528. The current building, whose towers look several miles away, was constructed in the year 1866, and replaced the old 13th Century Catholic church.
