Saint Aurelia's Church, Strasbourg

The Chapter of St Thomas had at first refused the appointment, scandalised by Bucer's marriage and ex-communication.

The gardeners then appealed to the City Council, who forced the Chapter of St Thomas to accept Bucer.

[1] [2] [3] Bucer preached his first sermon there on 24 February 1524 and quickly rose to become the leader of the reform in Strasbourg.

The galleries are decorated with twenty-three biblical scenes by the Strasbourg painter Pierre Joseph Noël, painted in 1767.

The Church is also known for its 1718 Andreas Silbermann organ, [6] on which Albert Schweitzer produced some recordings of Bach and Franck in 1936 for Columbia.
