Église Notre-Dame-du-Perpétuel-Secours, Minor basilica in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Église Notre-Dame-du-Perpétuel-Secours is a Gothic Revival basilica in the 11th arrondissement with a 62-meter spire rising above the neighborhood streets. Its interior is marked by tall windows filled with stained glass and ornamental stonework that reflects the architectural details of the late 19th century.
The basilica was built in 1896 by Brother Gérard Grunblatt of the Redemptorist congregation and designated as a minor basilica by Pope Paul VI in 1966. This formal recognition reflected the growing spiritual importance of the site to local believers.
The basilica is named for the Virgin Mary and displays capitals carved with depictions of Marian litanies throughout the interior. Inside you will find a significant icon of the Virgin and Child that replicates an ancient image venerated in Rome.
The building sits on Boulevard de Ménilmontant and is within walking distance of several nearby metro stations in the neighborhood. Access is straightforward and you can enter during daytime hours to explore the interior.
The icon housed inside traces its spiritual lineage back to early Christian traditions from Constantinople and reflects religious imagery from centuries past. This connection makes the site a bridge between Eastern and Western Christian heritage for visitors interested in religious history and sacred art.
