American Cathedral in Paris, Gothic Revival cathedral near Champs-Élysées, Paris, France.

The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity features pointed arches, ribbed vaulting, and stained glass windows within its stone structure that rises 85 meters high.

Established in 1859 as a parish church for American Episcopalians in Paris, the building gained cathedral status in 1922 while maintaining its parish functions.

The cathedral functions as the main gathering place for the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe and maintains a congregation of 400 permanent parishioners.

The cathedral stands at 23 Avenue George V in the 8th arrondissement, with access through Alma-Marceau and George V metro stations.

During World War II, German military chaplains took control of the cathedral, temporarily interrupting its regular operations throughout the occupation period.
