Strasbourg has 3 churches dedicated to St Peter – an older Romanesque church Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux on Grand'Rue, the neo-Romanesque Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Catholique onPlace Charles de Foucauld, and the Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Protestant Church, which is a historical and architectural treasure. Built on the site of an early medieval church dedicated to St Columba, the Protestant Church has been Lutheran since 1524, and is on the Route Romane d'Alsace.

The present Gothic church is mostly from the 13thcentury, though it retains the cloisters and the lower parts of the bell tower of the original Romanesque church built in 1031. The interiors are noted for their ribbed vaulting, medieval frescoes and other works of art. Highlights include the Gothic rood screen with paintings of the Four Evangelists by Engelhardt, statue of a monk holding a cup, Silbermann organ, fresco depicting the storm on the Sea of Galilee in the nave, funerary chapel of the Zorn family, and fresco in the south aisle depicting European nations marching towards the cross.
