Les Diocénesse
Les Diocénesse is the Chapel of the Deaconesses, a modest Protestant place of worship in Strasbourg’s Finkwiller quarter. Its simple façade blends quietly into the surrounding streets. Inside, the Diaconesses of Strasbourg gather to pray, sing hymns, and renew their commitment to caring for others. The interior offers a contemplative setting for prayer and reflection.
Generations of women have brought hope, consolation, and mutual encouragement through these rooms. Mademoiselle Élise Ritschard is remembered within these walls. Her dedication was honoured in the chapel, alongside the quiet daily service that gives this place its character. Look at the modest doorway: it recalls a history of faith expressed through care.
