Horloge astrologique de l'immeuble-cathédrale, Medieval clock tower in 3rd arrondissement, France
The astronomical clock adorns a neo-Gothic building at 61-63 rue Réaumur, featuring a large mechanical timepiece surrounded by zodiac symbols and seasonal sculptures.
Built in 1898 by architects Philippe Jouannin and Edouard Singery, the structure emerged during a period of architectural freedom following the relaxation of Haussmann regulations.
The clock face incorporates twelve zodiac signs and mythological figures representing seasons, with Flora, Pomona, Boreas, and Ceres decorating the surrounding space.
The clock mechanism contains an integrated barometer that displays weather information, making it both a functional timekeeper and meteorological instrument for passersby.
The building's facade combines cathedral elements with industrial architecture, resulting in a structure that stands apart from typical Parisian commercial buildings of its era.
