Église Sainte-Anne, Roman Catholic church in Amiens, France
Description
Église Sainte-Anne is a 19th-century church with neo-Romanesque style in Amiens. The interior follows a Latin cross layout with an ambulatory, painted glass windows, and ribbed vaults that run through the entire space.
History
The original church was built in 1835 but was demolished in 1866 to make way for a railway line. The current building was then constructed in neo-Romanesque style and eventually came under the care of a religious community.
Culture
The church displays neo-Romanesque features with three entrance porches and twin towers that shape how people experience the street. This bold architectural style catches the eye and establishes a strong visual presence in the neighborhood.
Practical
The church can be entered during regular visiting hours and is connected with other churches in the parish network. It is helpful to check exact opening times before your visit, as they can vary depending on the season or special events.
Did you know?
The stained glass windows were designed by Charles Crauk and show biblical scenes from when the church was rebuilt. These windows are examples of skilled craftsmanship that visitors often overlook but they fill the interior with colored light.
