Saint-Denys-of-the-Sacrament Church, Neoclassical church in Le Marais, France

Saint-Denys-of-the-Sacrament Church displays six Ionic columns on its exterior facade and contains a barrel-vaulted ceiling decorated with gold and ivory floral patterns.

The church was constructed between 1826 and 1835 by architect Étienne-Hippolyte Godde on the site of a former Benedictine monastery from 1684.

Located at 68 Rue de Turenne in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, the church remains an active Catholic place of worship with regular mass services.

The triangular pediment above the entrance showcases sculptures by Jean-Jacques Feuchère representing the three theological virtues: Faith, Hope, and Charity.
