Église Saint-Georges de la Villette, Catholic church in 19th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Église Saint-Georges de la Villette is a church built in Romanesque Revival style with rounded columns topped by capitals decorated with foliage and ornamental hooks. Colored stained glass windows throughout the interior create soft, filtered light.
Construction began in 1873 under architect Louis-Pierre Chauvet and was completed in 1880 with Alfred Coulomb overseeing the final phase. The building emerged as part of the neighborhood's urban development during the late 1800s.
The carved relief above the entrance shows Saint George battling the dragon, a subject that reflects the spiritual focus of the parish. This religious imagery remains a focal point for visitors entering the church.
The building sits at 112-114 Avenue Simon Bolivar in the neighborhood, making it straightforward to locate. Plan your visit during opening hours to view the interior and its architectural details comfortably.
The organ in the choir was crafted by Charles Mutin in 1907 and underwent restoration before being reinstalled in 1995. This instrument stands as a testament to early 1900s craftsmanship and musical design.
