Église Saint-Louis, Historical church in Saint-Louis, France.
Église Saint-Louis is a church in Saint-Louis built with Neo-Byzantine design featuring a Latin cross floor plan. Inside, a central nave is flanked by two side aisles and topped by a vaulted apse.
Construction began in 1877 and continued until 1913 under architects Ludovic and Lucien Douillard. This lengthy building process reflects the scale and complexity of the project.
The interior paintings and decorative vault in the apse show how artists of that era worked with light and color. These details reveal what people valued in religious spaces during the late 1800s.
The church welcomes visitors during regular opening hours so you can view the interior freely. Special events and Heritage Days offer good opportunities to visit with guided information.
Artist Alexis Douillard designed the interior decorations, bringing a personal artistic touch to the building's design. This collaboration between architects and artist creates a cohesive work of craftsmanship throughout the space.
