Église Saint-Similien, Gothic Revival church in Hauts-Pavés, Nantes, France.
The Saint-Similien Church features three naves, two ambulatories, and numerous stained glass windows within its Gothic Revival architecture.
Following the death of Bishop Similien in 310, his successor Eumilius constructed a votive chapel over his grave, establishing the foundation for future church buildings.
The church maintains ancient baptismal fonts from the fifth century, representing one of the oldest religious artifacts in the city of Nantes.
The current church building, designed by architect Eugene Boismen, began construction in 1873 and continued its development through multiple phases until 1894.
Two original bells from the previous church structure fell from their tower on July 8, 1894, during the final stages of construction.
