Église Saint-Polycarpe, Heritage church in 1st arrondissement of Lyon, France
The Saint-Polycarpe Church features a neoclassical design with doric-ionic columns and displays architectural elements from the early 19th century French religious buildings.
Inaugurated in 1826 and designated as a protected historical monument in 1982, this church stands as a testament to Lyon's urban development during the 19th century.
The church bears the name of Polycarp of Smyrna, a second-century Christian martyr, reflecting the influence of early Christian history on French religious heritage.
Located at 25 rue René-Leynaud, the church remains active for religious services and opens its doors to visitors interested in architectural and historical exploration.
The church interior contains detailed decorative elements maintained by local craftsmen through numerous restoration projects over two centuries.
