Église Saint-Séraphin-de-Sarov, Eastern Orthodox church in 15th arrondissement, Paris, France
Église Saint-Séraphin-de-Sarov is a wooden Orthodox church in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, combining traditional Orthodox architectural features within an urban setting. The building stretches approximately 12 meters in length and incorporates religious elements typical of the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
The church was established in 1933 to serve the growing Russian Orthodox community that arrived in Paris following the October Revolution. A major renovation took place in 1974 to meet the needs of the settled community.
The church serves the Russian Orthodox community in Paris, conducting services in French and Church Slavonic languages. It represents the presence of Russian emigrants who settled in the city following the October Revolution.
The building is located on Rue Lecourbe in the 15th arrondissement and is accessible from the street. Visitors should be aware that services occur at specific times and the church may not always be open for casual visits.
The interior incorporates two maple tree trunks into its structure, with one remaining alive and creating an unexpected natural element within the religious space. This architectural feature gives the building a rare quality that visitors often overlook.
