St. Georges Church, Nancy

St. Georges Church, Nancy, Neoclassical Catholic church in Nancy, France

St. Georges Church is a neoclassical church at the corner of Avenue du XXe-Corps and Rue du Pont-Cézard in Nancy. Its light stone facade has a central arched doorway with dark doors, a carved panel reading "DOMUS DEI" above it, and a triangular pediment with a balustrade below a square tower. The tower carries a round clock with Roman numerals and a louvered arched opening.

Built from 1846 to designs by Corrard des Essarts at the initiative of Abbé Pierre-François Poirot, curé of Nancy Cathedral, the church was blessed by him on 12 October 1851; he was buried there in 1853. Its stained glass was partly destroyed in the Second World War and replaced by windows from the Benoît workshops of Nancy. The roof and facade render were redone between 1979 and 1989, and the interior was fully rehabilitated in 1990-1991.

The stained glass windows display scenes of Saint George, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Catherine in vibrant colors. Created by the Benoît workshops after World War II, they shape how light fills the interior space.

The church stands at the corner of avenue du XXe-Corps and rue du Pont-Cézard, and the square in front has been named place André-Cajelot since 1952. The main entrance is the large arched doorway beneath the "DOMUS DEI" panel, with the clock tower above. The organ is currently unusable because of old water infiltration, so it cannot be heard during a visit.

The 1861 organ, attributed to Cavaillé-Coll, was reworked in 1921 and rebuilt in 1930 by François Didier; it has 13 stops and is currently unusable because of long-standing water infiltration, so a full overhaul is needed. The church also keeps an 18th-century high altar given by the Count of Ludre and a baptismal font from the former Saint-Georges collegiate church.
