EN: The Roman catholic church St Frindolin is located in the north of Mulhouse. It is considerd one of the most important Neo-Baroque buildings in France.

The church was donated by a generous member of the parish, Geneviève Rogg-Haas, in 1895. Due to the first name of the deceased husband of the donatrice, the church was dedicated to St Fridolin, the apostle of the Alemanni. For this reason, the architect Ludwig Becker decided to design the outside of the church very close to the Fridolin Minster of Bad Säckingen, where St Fridolin founded an abbey and died in the 6th century.

The interior was designed and created by painter Martin von Feuerstein and sculptor Théophile Klem, the organ was created by Friedrich Goll.

The church foundation was laid in 1903 and it was inaugurated in 1906. For the 100th anniversary in 2006 the interior was restored. In 1984 it was listed as a "Monument Historique".
