Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité, also called Temple Saint-Étienne, dominates Mulhouse's skyline with its twin 97-meter spires. Built in the 19th century, this Protestant church features a soaring nave, intricate rose windows, and a magnificent organ. The interior is bathed in colored light from the stained glass, depicting biblical scenes. Visitors can attend services or simply admire the architecture. The church's location on Place de la Réunion makes it a natural stop during a city tour. Its neo-Gothic style is reminiscent of Cologne Cathedral, though on a smaller scale. The church also hosts occasional concerts, showcasing its excellent acoustics.
