CATHEDRALE SAINT-MARTIN ET PORTE D'ALBE

This cathedral was built in 1907 on the waterfront. It is located next to an old mill and forms a beautiful architectural ensemble with the Saar bridge and the old gate dating from the 13th century. This unconventional building does not lack charm. When you enter the church, you will be surprised by the narthex, the "vestibule" leading to the left to the old baptismal font. The view over the choir is panoramic. Unfortunately, the beautiful carved pulpit was badly damaged during the events of 1940. To the left, you can admire the fine carvings and biblical messages that decorate the only original confessional.
All that remains of the gallery organ is a row of decorative pipes. A new organ, decorated with Sarralbe's emblematic frog, occupies the right apse.
The main altar is original and was designed by the architect Rüppel. With its richly decorated statues and bas-reliefs, this altar alone is a teaching tool for the faithful.
