Temple Saint-Étienne

The Temple Saint-Étienne (Protestant St. Stephen's Church) is a Calvinist church located in the city of Mulhouse.  Its 97 metre high bell tower is the highest steeple in the department of Haut-Rhin. The church was designed by the city architect Jean-Baptiste Schacre. The current church was built between 1859 and 1866.

A considerable part of the furnishings of the previous building were used in the St. Stephen's church of Jean-Baptiste Schacre. The most important of all the artistic treasures of the city of Mulhouse are the large leaded-glass windows from 1320 to 1350, famous for their vivid design and rich colors. They were originally in the choir and were set into the clerestory windows. The Baroque choir stalls of dark oak are from 1637. The stone church monument of Baron Friedrich Ludwig Waldner von Freundstein (1735), an important work of the local late Baroque period, was erected in the assembly room of the new church.
