Saint Paul Church of Chailly-en-Bière, Romanesque and Gothic church in Chailly-en-Bière, France.

Saint Paul Church exhibits architectural elements from both Romanesque and Gothic periods, featuring 12th-century arches and 13th-century lancet windows.

The first church was established in 808 under Charlemagne before being rebuilt in the 12th century with subsequent modifications until the 18th century.

The church gained recognition through Jean-François Millet's painting 'The Angelus', which captured rural life in 19th-century France.

A major restoration project of the transept and choir, covering 345 square meters, will begin in April 2024 with completion expected in 2025.

The current bell tower was rebuilt in 1765 through donations from King Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour using materials from Fontainebleau Castle.
