Lutheran Church known as the Church of Peace

The old church of Froeschwiller, dedicated to Saint Michael, became Protestant in 1552, when the Eckbrecht of Durckheim took possession of the village.
During the simultaneum, the choir was reserved for Catholics.
In 1824, the architect Dufau took charge of the reconstruction of the interior facade, then from 1841 to 1845, a new nave was built, with an entrance on the street, according to the plans of the architect Albert Haas.
During the battle of August 6, 1870, the church was destroyed, and a promise was made by the Germans, to rebuild it, as well as a Catholic church.
Charles Winkler, architect of historical monuments, proposed a neo-Gothic building project, which was accepted, and allowed the new church to emerge, it was inaugurated in 1876.
The reconstruction work was under the supervision and authority of the Prince Royal, Frederick William, the work was financed by German donations.
The inaugural address was delivered by Pastor Chales Klein on July 30, 1876, and the Church Dedicated to Peace.
