This neo-Gothic Protestant church is unquestionably the largest commemorative monument of the Battle of August 6, 1870, known as the "Battle of Reichshoffen", which killed no less than 20,000 people. It was built from 1872 in place of the village church, burnt down during the battle, on the plans of the architect Charles Winkler and under the authority of Emperor William I thanks to subscriptions collected throughout Germany. It was inaugurated on July 30, 1876 and dedicated to Peace. Above the main portal, a Christ carved in sandstone is surrounded by the symbols of the four evangelists.
