Located in the old part of the city, St. Thomas Church in Strasbourg is now a Protestant church. The building has a façade that derives from its Romanesque past, and a nave that is Gothic. The single tower above the narthex and the rose-colored stone are characteristic of other Alsatian churches of similar age, while the interior contains the expected monuments and decor of later times, including some particularly fine sculptures.
