Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, Gothic church in Latin Quarter, France
Saint-Étienne-du-Mont is a church in Paris's Latin Quarter combining flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance styles. The interior displays detailed stone carvings, spiral staircases, and stained glass from the 16th century.
The church began construction in 1494 and took more than a century to complete amid religious conflicts and financial difficulties. The extended building period brought together architectural styles from different eras.
The church remains an active place where people worship and attend services today. The remains of a significant early Christian figure rest in a chapel here, drawing visitors who value religious history.
The church sits near Metro stations Luxembourg and Cardinal Lemoine for easy access. Visitors can move through the interior at their own pace to view the architectural details and stonework from different angles.
The building holds one of France's few surviving stone rood screens, an ornate bridge connecting the nave and choir areas. This carved network is a rare medieval and Renaissance remnant found in few other places.
