Église Saint-Pierre de Senlis, Gothic church in Senlis, France

The Saint-Pierre church features a 47-meter-high square tower with a Renaissance dome and a facade designed by architect Martin Chambiges in 1516.

The church served as the largest parish in Senlis until 1791, when the French Revolution led to its conversion into various facilities including a fodder shop.

The building combines pre-Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural elements, with its transept and choir constructed between 1240 and 1250.

Following extensive renovation work between 2009 and 2017, the church now functions as a cultural center hosting exhibitions, fairs, and concerts throughout the year.

Archaeological excavations in 1978 revealed that the church foundations date back to before the 11th century, with the original structure featuring two towers.
