Sainte-Blandine de Lyon, Catholic church in 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France
The stone building features a tall spire added in 1890 and displays stained glass windows made by the Pagnon-Deschelettes workshop.
Construction of the church began in 1863 under architect Clair Tisseur on the site of Lyon's first racecourse, with completion in 1888.
The church maintains traditional Catholic services and houses a carved pulpit by Comparat decorated with symbols of the four evangelists.
Visitors find the church at Place de l'Hippodrome with additional entrance at 48 Cours Charlemagne, accessible through Lyon's public transportation system.
The building received the nickname 'Sainte-Blandine outside the vaults' by Gaspard André due to its initial isolated location beyond Perrache railway tracks.
