Église Saint-Louis de La Flèche
Église Saint-Louis de La Flèche, 17th-century church in La Flèche, France
The Saint-Louis Church features a transition between traditional Gothic architecture and Italian influence, with a baroque decoration at the main altar.
Construction of the church began in 1607 within the Jesuit college founded by Henry IV and reached completion in 1621 under royal patronage.
The church maintains the ashes of King Henry IV and Queen Marie de Medicis hearts, representing a direct connection to French royal history.
The church stands integrated within the Prytanée National Militaire at 22 Rue du Collège, with regular Sunday masses held for military personnel.
The church underwent extensive restorations between 1988 and 2021, including work on its distinctive bell tower and architectural elements.
