Église catholique de l'hôpital civil
The Église catholique de l’hôpital civil stands at a hospital in France, with a long nineteenth-century plan. Its polygonal apse closes the choir.
Completed in 1858, the church suffered destruction during the siege and rose again between 1881 and 1883. After the Second World War, Jacques Le Chevallier designed thirteen stained-glass windows for its interior. The Ott Frères studio crafted them in vivid glass. Three choir windows portray Christ, Saint Arbogast, and Saint Erhard with episcopal symbols. Ten nave windows arrange geometric forms in warm yellow and orange.
Sunlight now reaches the nave through those ten coloured compositions, while the choir holds three expressive portraits. Christ emerges from the tomb, and the two saints appear as bishops with mitres and staffs.
