Église Saint-Gimer de Carcassonne, Gothic parish church at the foot of Cité, Carcassonne, France.
The Saint-Gimer Church features a six-bay nave with side aisles, a porch entrance, and a bell tower on the right side of the facade.
The original chapel dedicated to Saint Gimer, Bishop of Carcassonne from 903 to 932, was constructed in 1688 in the Barbacane district.
The interior holds a collection of religious art, including a painting of Saint Gimer with two clergymen and fourteen Stations of the Cross.
The church received official monument status in January 2022, making it eligible for preservation funding and specialized maintenance programs.
Architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc designed the entire structure in 1859 during the renovation period of Carcassonne's medieval citadel.
