Church of St. Margaret, Catholic church in 11th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Church of St. Margaret features a long nave with rounded arches supporting cradle vaults topped with oculi windows that illuminate the interior space.
Founded in 1625 by Antoine Fayet following land donation from Jean de Vitry, the construction of the church continued in stages until completion in 1764.
The Chapel of the Souls in Purgatory contains trompe-l'oeil murals by Paolo Antonio Brunetti and Gabriel Briard illustrating the doctrine of redemption.
The church maintains an adjacent cemetery where approximately 300 individuals executed at Place de la Bastille during the French Revolution were buried.
During the French Revolution in 1790, twenty-six of the thirty priests took an oath to the Constitutional government, allowing the church to remain open.
