Église Saint-Joseph

In France, Église Saint-Joseph rises with an asymmetrical façade shaped by two contrasting towers. Franz Lütke and Heinrich Backes designed the church for a growing neighbourhood around 1900. Construction began in April 1899 and finished just over two years later. The left bell tower reaches 45 metres, while the cylindrical turret on the right rises 22 metres.

A short narthex opens onto a 31-metre basilican nave with narrow side aisles and an unobstructed view of the choir. Above, a 16-metre trilobed vault forms a clover-like pattern rarely seen in other churches. Ludwig Moroder created the statues, while the Ott brothers made the stained glass from designs by Martin Feuerstein. Three choir windows honour Saint Joseph, showing him carrying Jesus with lilies beneath a radiant crown and two angels. The complex includes the presbytery and gardens, and its decoration incorporates the coats of arms of Koenigshoffen and Strasbourg. Relishes from the 1930s mark the portals, while the whole ensemble stands as a listed historical monument.
