Église Saint-Louis de Garches, Catholic church in Garches, France.
Église Saint-Louis de Garches is a Catholic church featuring a tall spire, stone exterior, and architectural details typical of 19th-century religious buildings. The structure demonstrates the craftsmanship and design conventions of that era through its facade and overall composition.
The original building dates to 1209 but suffered damage during the Battle of Buzenval in 1871. It was rebuilt in 1876 by architect Blondel, giving the structure its current appearance.
This church serves as a gathering place for the Catholic community of Garches and the surrounding area for masses and community events. It remains an active center of religious practice and social connection for local residents.
The church can be accessed through Place Saint-Louis and is open to visitors on weekdays and weekends. Information about service times and special occasions is available on the parish website for those planning a visit.
A bell from 1787 was granted official monument status in 1944 and remains preserved in the building. This artifact represents an often-overlooked connection to the site's deeper past.
