Notre-Dame de Clignancourt, Catholic church in 18th arrondissement, France
Notre-Dame de Clignancourt is a church building featuring Romanesque Revival elements such as rounded arches and thick stone walls that give it a solid, fortress-like presence. The structure spans approximately 99 meters in length and about 20 meters in width, with interior spaces designed to accommodate gatherings and religious ceremonies.
The church opened in 1863 as part of Napoleon III's urban development initiatives, with Haussmann laying the cornerstone in 1859. It was built during the major transformation of Paris that reshaped the city's neighborhoods and infrastructure.
The church displays artworks by Romain Cazes and Félix-Joseph Barrias, along with marble sculptures and Art Deco stained glass windows that fill the space with color. These pieces reflect the artistic tastes that shaped the interior during the 19th century.
The church is located in the 18th arrondissement and is typically easier to visit on weekdays when fewer people are present. It is helpful to check opening times in advance to plan your visit around religious services or tours that may be available.
The organ was built by Joseph Merklin and was played by acclaimed musicians Gabriel Fauré and Victor Sieg. These renowned organists brought musical prestige to the instrument that the church still carries today.
