Music like Collégiale

The Collégiale Saint-Étienne (Collegiate Church of St. Stephen) is a gothic building in Hombourg-Haut, department of Moselle, in the cultural and historical region Lorraine, Grand Est.

After the establishment of the Chapter of the collegiate by James of Lorraine, bishop of Metz in 1254, the church was erected during the 13th-14th centuries. It probably replaced an earlier church.

Although it was damaged by a fire in 1632, it was spared from destruction during the Thirty Years War and the 1789 revolution.

The church is registered as a French national heritage site and has become the symbol of the city of Hombourg-Haut.

1847 a new organ was installed by Pierre Rivinach. In 1906 the instrument was extended by the Dalstein-Haerpfer company. In 1992 it was restored by the organ builder Michel Gaillard (Aubertin).
