A surprising piece of heritage in the heart of Pfetterhouse. This neo-Gothic church from 1884 is unique in Alsace: it is dedicated to Saint Gereon, a rare patron saint in this region. The church combines historical charm with a peaceful setting and houses an impressive 16th-century Pietà in polychrome wood.

The original church of the lower village parish was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and then to Saint Anthony the Hermit, but in 1842, Father Acker established Saint Geron as the main patron saint. In 1802, the two parishes of Pfetterhouse were united, and there was only one church.
The current bell tower was built in 1900 by the architect Alexandre Louvat from Mulhouse. The old furnishings were gradually replaced. This church is the only one in Alsace to have Saint Geron as its patron saint.
