Facts and practical information

St. Peter and St. Paul's Church of Wissembourg is frequently, but incorrectly, referred to as the second largest Gothic church of Alsace after Strasbourg Cathedral. However, the building, with its interior ground surface area of 1,320 square metres most probably is the second largest Gothic church in Bas-Rhin which is one of the two departments of the Alsace region. The former abbey church of Wissembourg's famous Benedictine abbey now serves as the main Roman Catholic parish church of the town. ()
