Old Saint Peter's Church

The old St. Peter's Church was first mentioned in the 12th century, but the construction of the present Gothic church began in the 14th century. With the Reformation, the church became Protestant in 1529, but when Louis XIV conquered the city in 1683, parts of the church were returned to the Catholics and a wall was built to separate the two areas. Today, the part of the church on the side of the 22-November street is dedicated to Catholic worship while the part overlooking the Grand'rue is dedicated to Protestant worship.
