Core offering

The cathedral is a Catholic place of worship and seat of the Archbishop of Strasbourg that delivers liturgical services (daily and Sunday masses, confessions), the seven sacraments (baptism, confirmation, eucharist, marriage, anointing of the sick, funerals), faith formation programs (catechism, First Communion preparation, confirmation preparation, profession of faith), and pastoral care. It also functions as a cultural heritage site welcoming visitors to view the Gothic architecture, the Astronomical Clock, and the tower ascent platform, and operates the adjoining Münsterhof parish hall as an event venue and the L'Échoppe Saint-Michel shop for religious items.

Product overview

The Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg operates primarily as a religious institution with its digital presence focused on providing information to visitors and parishioners. The offering consists of the cathedral's official website as the primary product, complemented by several visitor attractions (the Astronomical Clock, tower ascent), parish facilities (Münsterhof parish hall), and musical ensembles (choir, Gregorian schola). The cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries and welcomes approximately 2.5 million visitors annually, making it the most visited cathedral in France.
