St. Theresa Church

The 20th-century pink chapel, built in a contemporary style, is part of the Sainte-Thérèse workers’ housing complex.



As such, it follows the layout of the workers’ houses.

The layout is simple: the building is square with a gable roof.

Horizontal windows set high up serve as stained-glass windows: they are adorned with zigzag-shaped tracery.

The western facade features a glass door decorated with concentric diamond patterns, flanked by a wide frame featuring the same motifs.

The entire building is punctuated by beige buttresses, giving it a two-tone appearance.



The Ensisheim workers’ housing complex was built in the 1920s and consisted of row houses for potash mine workers.

A place of worship was thus constructed to allow the workers to practice their faith not far from their workplace.
