Origin and history

The Protestant Church of Stosswihr is a monument located in the municipality of Stosswihr, in the Greater East Region. This place of worship bears witness to the historical presence of a Protestant community in this Alsatian village, although the available sources do not specify the exact period of its construction or architectural development. Religious buildings such as this church played a central role in the life of the Alsatian villages.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the community, reflecting local traditions and cultural influences of the region. In Alsace, Protestantism became established as soon as the Reformation, lastingly marking the religious and social landscape.
