Saint-Séverin, Gothic church in Latin Quarter, Paris, France
The Saint-Severin Church displays flamboyant Gothic architecture with five naves, stone columns decorated with floral capitals, and pointed arches throughout its structure.
Built in 1230 on the site of a 6th-century chapel, the church underwent reconstruction between the 15th and 17th centuries after damage during the Hundred Years War.
The church served as a central place of worship for University of Paris students in the 13th century, leading to its expansion to accommodate increasing numbers.
Located at 1 Rue des Prêtres Saint-Séverin in Paris, the church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours of its architectural features.
The church contains both medieval and modern stained glass windows, including contemporary abstract designs by Jean René Bazaine representing religious sacraments through colors.
