Church of Saint-Eugène-Sainte-Cécile

Local name: Église Saint-Eugène-Sainte-Cécile

The Church of Saint Eugene and Saint Cecilia is located on the right bank of the Seine. It is originally a gothic building that underwent reconstruction in the mid-19th century. At that time, it obtained neo-Gothic features, and a metal structure in the form of iron pillars was introduced into its interior, on which the vault rests.

The church was built in the 13th century. During the great reconstruction of Paris in the mid-nineteenth century, its outer walls were left, and the interior and decorations were changed in the neo-Gothic style. It is a building with a wide façade with six pointed windows. Its decorations refer to the Spanish and Moorish Gothic. There is a rosette in the central part.

The interior is three-nave, with two chapels at the presbytery. The vault rests on carved metal pillars. They are decorated with painted decorations resembling a starry sky. The furnishings of the temple are neo-Gothic. Masses in the Conciliar and Tridentine rites are held in the church.
