Saint-Merri, Gothic church in Le Marais, Paris, France
The Saint-Merri church displays flamboyant Gothic architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and numerous stained glass windows illuminating its central nave.
Construction of the current building began in 1520 under King François I and continued until 1560, replacing an earlier religious structure from the 13th century.
The church houses notable artworks and an exceptional organ reconstructed in 1781 by François-Henri Clicquot, which composer Camille Saint-Saëns played from 1853 to 1857.
The church welcomes visitors near the Pompidou Centre, with access through Hôtel-de-Ville metro station on lines 1 and 11, at the intersection of Rue Saint-Martin.
Saint-Merri maintains one of France's oldest bells, cast in 1331, which endured through the French Revolution when many church elements were destroyed.
