Architectural Marvel: St. Paul's Church
St. Paul's Church, located in Strasbourg, stands as an outstanding example of Gothic Revival architecture. Completed between 1892 and 1897, it was designed for the Lutheran members of the Imperial German garrison.
The church features striking elements, including an impressive height of 76 m (249 ft) and 19 entrances, a necessity for accommodating high-ranking military personnel. Architect Louis Muller drew inspiration from the Elisabeth Church of Marburg, creating three large rose windows and a significant pipe organ from 1897 which holds a Monument historique classification.
