Église Saint-Séraphin-de-Sarov

The wooden structure of Saint Seraphim of Sarov Church extends 12 meters in length, featuring traditional Orthodox architectural elements within an urban Parisian setting.

Following its initial establishment in 1933, the church underwent reconstruction in 1974 to accommodate the growing Russian Orthodox community that settled after the October Revolution.

The church maintains services in French and Church Slavonic languages, preserving Russian Orthodox traditions while integrating into the local Parisian community.

Religious services occur weekly with evening vigils on Saturdays at 6 PM and Divine Liturgy celebrations on Sundays at 10 AM at 91 rue Lecourbe.

The church interior incorporates two maple tree trunks into its structure, with one remaining alive, creating an unexpected natural element within the religious space.
