Protestant Church of St. Peter the Younger
Built from 1031 to 1053, Protestant Church of St. Peter the Younger is the site of a Merovingian chapel. You can still see the base of the bell tower, porch, and a number of walls from the original Romanesque building. Be sure to view the 14th-century frescoes, the tribune, and the cloister, where the remains of 11th-century columns can still be admired. The cloister has three galleries in the Romanesque and Gothic styles, with more than 90 tombstones and epitaphs dating back to the 14th to 18th centuries. Though heavily restored, many people consider this the oldest preserved cloister north of the Alps.

The amount of art per square inch in this church will boggle your mind. Much of it was preserved by Reformers who covered the Catholic art on the walls. The colors and details remain vibrant...

Great church for frescoes. Amazing organ. They sell books to raise money for renovations. Worth a visit.
