点评:The Gothic Protestant Cathedral of St. Pierre Le Jeunne in Strasbourg is an absolute hidden gem. Walking back in the evening to our car, after the hustle and bustle and brilliant lights of the Strasbourg Christmas Market, we noticed people leaving this large church. Though I and members of my family had been coming to Strasbourg on-and-off for 40 years, this was an edifice we had never visited. The church is open on limited hours, I recommend checking their website in advance for details. In a very rushed visit, I was able to see only the interior of the main church, sadly missing the crypt and the cloisters. Every inch of the interior is worth viewing from frescoes that are vivid, to beautify structured architectural elements, to an amazing rood screen. As this was a spur of the moment visit and rushed, I and my daughter barely scratched the surface of this stunning church. There are materials available to study the church, but there are also amiable and dedicated volunteers on site who will endeavor to explain the church to you. My daughter was intrigued to talk with an animated and friendly volunteer who spoke German and French and was clearly passionate about helping visitors understand this church’s many facets.
There is much to take in when visiting this church. Please study up on the church using a source like an older “Blue Guide” to France prior to your visit and give yourself much more time than the rushed half hour I had before the closing time.
翻译:斯特拉斯堡的圣皮埃尔勒热讷哥特式新教大教堂绝对是一颗隐藏的宝石。傍晚,在经历了斯特拉斯堡圣诞市场的喧嚣和璀璨灯光后,我们走回车里,发现人们正离开这座大教堂。虽然我和我的家人已经断断续续地来斯特拉斯堡 40 年了,但我们从未参观过这座建筑。教堂开放时间有限,我建议提前查看其网站以了解详情。在匆忙的参观中,我只看到了主教堂的内部,遗憾地错过了地下室和回廊。从生动的壁画到美化结构化的建筑元素,再到令人惊叹的圣坛屏风,教堂内部的每一寸都值得一看。由于这是一次即兴的匆忙参观,我和女儿几乎没有触及这座令人惊叹的教堂的表面。这里有资料可供研究这座教堂,但现场也有和蔼可亲、敬业的志愿者,他们会尽力向您介绍这座教堂。我女儿对与一位活泼友好的志愿者交谈很感兴趣,他会说德语和法语,显然热衷于帮助游客了解这座教堂的方方面面。
参观这座教堂有很多值得了解的地方。请在参观之前使用旧版“法国蓝色指南”等资料研究这座教堂,给自己留出比我在闭馆前匆忙的半小时更多的时间。
