Église Saint-Matthieu stands in France with flat roofs, smooth white concrete and a campanile rising nearly thirty metres. A cross crowns the separate tower, whose slender concrete supports hold three bells.

The Lutheran parish built this modern place in the 1960s, as new residents sought a spiritual home. An international architectural competition selected Carl Hintermann’s Zurich design, later adapted by Willy Grossmann. Quarry ground shaped the construction, which required deep concrete pillars beneath the broad roof. Sanctuary, parish halls and living quarters share this horizontal structure.

Inside, pale wood, white walls and coloured glass send bands of light across the sanctuary. An Euville stone altar stands before Tristan Ruhlmann’s vivid Resurrection window. Folding walls expand the space for gatherings, while a Walther organ from 1976 brings music into the interior. Environmental work has also earned the parish the Green Rooster label.
