In 1955, a seed of faith was planted. Bishop Weber tasked Father Trendel with a mission: to build a new church for the burgeoning suburb of Cronenbourg. This seed blossomed into the Église Saint-Antoine, a modern marvel completed in 1961. The Église Saint-Antoine stands before you, not as a relic of the past, but as a testament to the ever-evolving spirit of faith. Its architects, Georges Muller and Marie-Olivier Lapparent, along with the artistic influence of Ferdinand Klee, crafted a unique structure. The equilateral nave of the Église Saint-Antoine draws your eye towards the altar, a symbolic narrowing of focus towards the divine. A large side chapel branches off to the left, a space for intimate weekly gatherings. To the right, another chapel and various rooms offer additional areas for reflection and community. Before entering the sanctuary of Église Saint-Antoine, you pass through a spacious narthex. The façade, with its gendarme hat-shaped claustra, offers a subtle nod to Baroque traditions while maintaining a modern aesthetic. Rising above it all is the distinctive bell tower, a beacon of faith in the Cronenbourg skyline. Inside the Église Saint-Antoine, admire the artistic treasures within. The Virgin Mary, sculpted by André Bosshardt, and Paul Bony’s depiction of the Baptism of Christ add layers of spiritual depth to this modern sanctuary. The Église Saint-Antoine is more than just bricks and mortar. It’s a living testament to the enduring power of faith, a vibrant hub for the community, and a beautiful example of modern religious architecture in Strasbourg.
