Église Notre-Dame-de-Compassion, Byzantine Revival church in 17th arrondissement of Paris, France
Notre-Dame-de-Compassion church features a Greek cross plan with varied architectural elements including Neo-Byzantine and Gothic influences throughout its design.
The church was built in 1843 as a memorial chapel to Ferdinand Philippe, Duke of Orleans, who died in a carriage accident in 1842.
The interior decoration includes stained glass windows designed by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and sculptures created by Henri de Triqueti.
In 1970, the entire church structure was moved stone by stone to its current location to accommodate the construction of the Palais des Congres.
The stained glass windows differentiate from traditional methods as they were created using enamel paints at the Royal Manufacture of Sevres.
