Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge
Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge, Romanesque Revival church in 14th arrondissement of Paris, France
Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge is a Romanesque Revival church with a prominent bell tower at the intersection of Avenue du Maine and Avenue Général-Leclerc in the 14th arrondissement. The building shows rounded arches and decorative mosaics across its facade, creating a striking presence in the neighborhood.
Construction began in 1863 under architect Émile Vaudremer and was completed in 1872 during Haussmann's urban transformation of Paris. The church emerged as part of this major modernization effort that reshaped the city's urban fabric.
The church serves as a spiritual center for the Petit-Montrouge neighborhood, hosting regular worship and community events that shape daily life here. Passersby notice how the building remains actively used for religious ceremonies and gatherings that bring people together.
The church sits at a central intersection with multiple public transportation options nearby making it easy to reach. Visitors can access the building conveniently on foot or by transit from various points in the neighborhood.
The interior holds stained glass windows created by the Gsell and Laurent workshop that cast colored light throughout the space. Wooden vaults overhead create shifting light effects that change throughout the day and with the weather.
