Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, Catholic church in 1st arrondissement, France

The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption displays a classical design with a prominent porch supported by six Corinthian columns and a large central dome measuring 24 meters in diameter.

Construction of the church began in 1676 under architect Charles Errard, who incorporated design elements from Ancient Rome and the Italian Renaissance into the structure.

Since 1844, this church has functioned as the primary Polish Catholic center in Paris, hosting religious services and maintaining connections with the Polish community.

The church stands at the intersection of Rue Saint-Honoré and Rue Cambon, with public transportation options available nearby for convenient access.

During the French Revolution, the building temporarily stored opera and theater sets until Napoleon Bonaparte returned it to religious service in 1801.
