The Église Saint-Matthieu in Colmar serves as a significant example of Neo-Gothic architecture, completed in 1908. Designed by architect Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué, also responsible for the Pfister House in Colmar, the church replaced an earlier medieval chapel on the same site. Its construction utilized Vosges sandstone, contributing to its distinctive pale rose hue. The interior features stained glass windows depicting scenes from the life of Saint Matthew, created by local artisans. Notably, the church's organ, built by Georges Schwenkedel, is considered a valuable instrument within the region. The building’s acoustics are well-regarded, making it a suitable venue for musical performances. It is currently used as a place of worship and also hosts cultural events throughout the year.
