Église Saint-Germain de Pantin

The Saint-Germain church stands in the center of Pantin with a square tower, barrel-vaulted nave, and triangular-pedimented porch at its entrance point.

The initial church from the twelfth century was declared unsafe in 1649, leading to a complete reconstruction project started in 1664 under abbot Richelieu's guidance.

The interior contains a 1959 tapestry depicting crucifixion, stained glass windows by Jacques Le Chevallier, and a red marble baptismal font from the 18th century.

The church underwent extensive restoration work from June 2020 to February 2023, reinforcing its structure and renovating both interior and exterior elements.

During recent renovations, workers discovered original gold-ochre whitewash from 1664 beneath layers of paint, which was then reapplied to the walls.
