Église Saint-Joseph
About

The Église Saint-Joseph is a striking landmark in Colmar, reflecting the city’s religious and architectural heritage of the early 20th century. Built between 1884 and 1886 in neo-Gothic style, the church was dedicated to Saint Joseph, symbolizing faith and family values. Its imposing façade, adorned with pointed arches and rose windows, dominates the surrounding district, while the interior offers a serene space filled with light filtering through colorful stained glass. The church’s design combines traditional Gothic inspiration with modern construction techniques of its time, making it a distinctive example of Alsatian religious architecture. Over the years, Église Saint-Joseph has remained an active parish, welcoming worshippers and visitors alike. Situated slightly outside the historic center, it provides a quieter yet equally meaningful encounter with Colmar’s spiritual life, standing as a testament to devotion, community, and continuity in the city’s cultural landscape.
