St Étienne

The Chapelle Saint-Étienne in Strasbourg is a historic religious building whose surviving sections are among the oldest in the city. The building, which now serves as the chapel of the Catholic Saint-Étienne secondary school, was built in the 13th century in the Rhenish Romanesque style. After heavy destruction in World War II and extensive excavations that uncovered remains of the Roman camp of Argentoratum, the nave was rebuilt in the 1960s. Today you can admire the authentic transept with its crossing dome, as well as the medieval choir and apse. Inside, you will also find a restored organ that was originally built for the Strasbourg Conservatory.
