Église Saint-Maurice
Église Saint-Maurice rises in France with neo-Gothic stonework, pointed arches, and a tower reaching roughly sixty metres. Ludwig Becker began construction in November 1895, completing the building in May 1899. Its tower stands beside the broad avenue, aligned visually with the nearby cathedral.
Inside, the fourteen-metre-wide nave brings worshippers close to the altar and accommodates up to two thousand people. Concrete foundations and a metal frame support its historic forms. The main altar presents scenes from Saint Maurice’s life beneath a Crucifixion group, while side chapels include a Marian altar. Coloured windows show saints, plants, and ornamental patterns across the interior.
The Weigle organ has filled the nave with music since the opening. Once a garrison church, the building now serves an active parish through art, worship, and daily gatherings.
