Iglesia del Santísimo Sacramento, Gothic Revival church in Santiago, Chile
The Iglesia del Santísimo Sacramento is a Gothic Revival church in Santiago featuring characteristic pointed arches and decorative elements. The structure combines brick walls for the main nave with oak wood components in the tower and roof, topped with galvanized iron covering.
The church was built between 1891 and 1896 based on designs by French architect Emilio Doyré on land donated by Pedro Fernández Concha. The project reflected the growing need for religious buildings in late 19th century Santiago.
The church serves as a chapel for the Gendarmería de Chile, an institution that uses it regularly for its own purposes. This dual function connects the building to both religious life and Chile's institutional history.
The church welcomes visitors, especially during service times, and is located on Santa Isabel street in the Yungay area. Checking ahead for visiting hours is advisable since the building serves institutional functions.
The building showcases an uncommon blend of construction materials typical of its era: brick for structural strength and oak wood for both elegance and durability. This combination of practical and aesthetic choices demonstrates 19th century engineering approaches.
