St. Peter and St. Paul's Church (French: Église Saints-Pierre-et-Paul) of Wissembourg is frequently,[2] but incorrectly, referred to as the second largest Gothic church of Alsace after Strasbourg Cathedral.[3] However, the building, with its interior ground surface area of 1,320 square metres (14,200 sq ft) (60 by 22 metres (197 ft × 72 ft))[4] most probably is the second largest Gothic church in Bas-Rhin which is one of the two departments of the Alsace region.[5]
