Welcome to the

European Cities of the Reformation!

The “European Cities of the Reformation” is a project run by the Communion of Protestant Churches in Europe – CPCE – to strengthen the partnerships between the European churches and their towns and cities as they celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
